Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Sweet onion
- 3 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Peel and roughly chop the sweet onion into small chunks to make it easier to blend.
In a blender or food processor, add the chopped sweet onion, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, water, honey, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or honey depending on your taste.
Once blended to a smooth consistency and seasoned to your liking, pour the vinaigrette into a clean glass jar or bottle for storage.
Store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use to recombine the ingredients.
