Pinch of red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon honey
Instructions

Blend until smooth and fully emulsified.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes
Store in an airtight container or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Olive oil may solidify in the fridge; let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes and shake before serving.
Freshly grated parmesan provides the best flavor and texture.
Adjust honey for sweetness or vinegar for extra tang.
