Step-by-step Guide

Preparation

  • Dilute the honey in the vinegar in a small bowl and mix until well integrated.
  • Add the olive oil and salt, and gently stir to combine all the ingredients.
  • Emulsify the mixture manually with a whisk for about 2-3 minutes until achieving a smooth and homogeneous texture.
  • Add the lavender and let it macerate at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Recommendations & Tricks
  • To infuse the lavender, slightly heat the extra virgin olive oil, add the lavender, and let it sit for at least 1 hour so the flavors meld together.
  • When adding the honey to the vinaigrette, ensure it is at room temperature to make it easier to mix with the other ingredients.
  • Store the vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume it within one week to preserve all the fresh and natural aromas.
