• ¹/₄ cup olive brine (preferably from green olives)
• 2 teaspoons smooth Dijon mustard

INSTRUCTIONS

• In a small food processor (or a medium bowl), combine the brine, mustard, and garlic. Pulse to combine (or whisk if using a bowl).
• Using the opening in the top of the food processor, slowly stream in the olive oil until thoroughly combined. If mixing by hand, slowly stream in the olive oil, whisking vigorously. 
• Add the gin, rosemary, coriander, and salt. Pulse or whisk until thoroughly combined.
• Taste, then adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
• Serve over your favorite veggies or tossed with fresh, crunchy salad greens.
