Ingredients

Scale

Vinaigrette Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe peach, pitted and chopped (Approximately 1 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach: Begin by washing and pitting the peach. Chop it into small pieces so it blends smoothly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the chopped peach, honey, Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Emulsify the Oil: With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil to emulsify the vinaigrette and create a creamy texture.
  4. Season to Taste: Taste the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Blend briefly again to mix in the seasoning evenly.
  5. Store the Vinaigrette: Transfer the finished vinaigrette into a bowl or jar for storage.
  6. Refrigerate: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Adjust honey quantity based on desired sweetness.
  • Shake or stir the vinaigrette before each use as separation may occur.
  • This vinaigrette pairs well with mixed greens, grilled chicken, or drizzled over roasted vegetables.
  • For a smoother texture, strain the vinaigrette through a fine mesh sieve if desired.
