Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups pecans
- 0.25 cups honey
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Allow them to cool completely.
In a blender or food processor, combine the honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and emulsified.
Add the cooled pecans to the blender and pulse a few times until the pecans are finely chopped but still provide some texture.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or honey to balance flavors.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a lid. Shake well before using.
Use immediately on your favorite salad, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
