Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized, pitted and chopped Fresh plums
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons, freshly ground Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (optional for thinning) Water
Instructions
1. Wash the plums thoroughly and slice them in half to remove the pits. Chop the pitted plums into smaller pieces for easier blending.
2. In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped plums, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
3. Blend on medium speed until the mixture becomes smooth and the plums are fully pureed.
4. With the blender still running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing emulsifies and has a creamy consistency.
5. If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add water one tablespoon at a time, blending in between, until your desired consistency is achieved.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or honey, depending on your preference.
7. Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a lid, and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
8. Drizzle over your favorite salad and enjoy!
