Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh pineapple (diced or crushed)
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1-2 tablespoons water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh pineapple, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and emulsified. If the vinaigrette is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding a pinch more salt, pepper, or honey for sweetness.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a clean jar or container with a lid.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
