Description
Homemade peach honey dijon balsamic vinaigrette brings summer’s sweet and tangy essence to salads with elegant simplicity. Delicate fruity notes blend seamlessly with rich balsamic, creating a dressing that elevates any green ensemble you’ll want to savor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ripe peach, peeled and diced (or ½ cup peach puree)
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1–2 teaspoons water (optional, to thin)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine ripe peach, honey, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and minced garlic in a blender, processing until achieving a silky-smooth texture.
- Refine Flavor Profile: Introduce salt and pepper, then re-blend. Calibrate taste by incrementally adjusting sweetness with additional honey or enhancing tanginess through extra balsamic vinegar.
- Consistency Check: If vinaigrette appears overly dense, incorporate a measured splash of water, blending until reaching an elegant, pourable consistency.
- Storage and Preservation: Transfer vinaigrette into a sealed glass container, refrigerate for maximum one-week freshness. Before each application, vigorously shake to reintegrate separated ingredients.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are completely smooth for a silky, well-integrated vinaigrette without chunky bits.
- Taste and adjust the sweet-tangy ratio by adding more honey or balsamic vinegar, creating a personalized dressing that suits your palate.
- Add water gradually if the dressing feels too thick, preventing over-dilution and maintaining the perfect drizzling texture.
- Use ripe, sweet peaches for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness, enhancing the overall dressing quality.
