Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medjool dates
- 4 pieces Dried figs
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Pit the Medjool dates and roughly chop them for easier blending.
Remove the stems from the dried figs and roughly chop them as well.
Peel and mince the garlic clove.
In a high-speed blender, combine the chopped dates, figs, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, water, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add 1 additional tablespoon of water at a time and blend again until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or vinegar for extra tang.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Shake or stir well before serving over your favorite salad or roasted vegetables.
