Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a blender or food processor, combine the red wine vinegar, honey, adobo sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, ground cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Blend on medium speed for 15-20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify the vinaigrette.
Once the oil is fully incorporated, add the water and blend for another 5 seconds to adjust the consistency.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or honey to suit your preference.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Shake well before using and enjoy over your favorite salad or dish.
