Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mince the garlic cloves finely so they distribute evenly throughout the marinade.

  2. Step 2

    Pour balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, and dijon mustard into a bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk vigorously for 1 minute until the mustard emulsifies and the marinade thickens slightly.

  4. Step 4

    Taste and adjust: add a pinch of salt and pepper if needed. Use immediately or store in an airtight container.

Tools you’ll need

  • medium bowl
