Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Pecans
- 2 pcs Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and slightly golden. Allow them to cool completely.
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them into smaller pieces for easier blending.
In a blender or food processor, combine the toasted pecans, garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Start blending the ingredients while gradually adding the water for a smoother consistency. Blend until the dressing becomes creamy and well-emulsified, scraping down the sides as needed.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or honey as desired.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container or jar and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Shake or stir well before serving, and drizzle over your favorite salad.
