Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Harissa paste
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, start by combining the harissa paste and red wine vinegar. Whisk them together until the harissa paste is fully dissolved in the vinegar.
Add in the honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, and ground cumin. Whisk the mixture well to ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the vinaigrette. This will give the dressing a smooth and cohesive texture.
Season the vinaigrette with salt and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more if necessary.
Transfer the finished harissa vinaigrette to a clean jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
For best results, refrigerate the vinaigrette for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake well before each use. Drizzle over your favorite salads, roasted vegetables, or use it as a marinade for meats.
