Begin by mincing the garlic until it reaches a nearly paste-like consistency, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

In a mason jar or a mixing bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and your choice of dried herbs. Whisk or shake for about 30 seconds.

Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously or seal the jar and shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes.

Once emulsified, gently fold in the grated Parmesan cheese.

Taste the dressing and adjust flavors as needed, using more honey or olive oil if too tangy.

Let the dressing sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.
