Elevate your salads with a bold and flavorful twist using this quick and easy Paprika Salad Dressing. Made with smoked paprika, extra virgin olive oil, and a touch of honey, this dressing strikes the perfect balance between smoky, tangy, and slightly sweet. A hint of Dijon mustard and garlic powder adds depth, while red wine vinegar provides a zesty kick. Ready in just 5 minutes, it's a versatile dressing that complements everything from leafy greens to roasted vegetables. Whisk it together in a bowl or shake it up in a jar for a fuss-free, homemade alternative to store-bought dressings. Perfect for meal prep, this dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, making it your new go-to for salad perfection.
In a small bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together vigorously, or if using a jar, secure the lid and shake well until the dressing is fully emulsified and smooth.
Add 1 tablespoon of water to the mixture to slightly thin out the dressing and whisk or shake again until combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or honey for sweetness as desired.
Use immediately to dress your favorite salad, or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Shake or stir well before each use.
