Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh gooseberries (or gooseberry preserves)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.33 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
If using fresh gooseberries, rinse them thoroughly and remove any stems. Place the gooseberries in a blender or food processor.
Add apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard to the blender.
Blend the mixture until the gooseberries are fully pureed and the ingredients are well combined.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture becomes smooth and emulsified.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Blend again briefly to combine.
If the dressing is too thick, add a tablespoon of water and blend again to reach your desired consistency.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Shake well before each use and serve drizzled over your favorite salads or roasted vegetables.
