1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons dijon mustard

1 clove garlic, finely minced OR 1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, shake until well combined. Alternatively, for thicker dressings like the ranch or Italian, you can combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse until well combined and smooth.

Refrigerate and let flavors blend for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours, before serving.
