Balsamic Vinaigrette

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/3 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 cup olive oil, or 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil and 1/2 cup canola or grapeseed oil

In a 1-quart mixing bowl or a food processor, whisk the vinegar, mustard, garlic, sugar, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. While whisking vigorously, or with the food processor running, drizzle the oil into the balsamic mixture very carefully--slowly at first, then a little faster as the oil in incorporated. This dressing should be fairly thick and will remain emulsified for several days.
