Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Roasted red pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional)
Instructions
If you're using a store-bought roasted red pepper, drain it thoroughly. If roasting your own, char the red pepper over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is blackened, allow it to cool, and remove the skin, stem, and seeds.
Roughly chop the red pepper into smaller pieces and add it to a blender or food processor.
Add olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and emulsified. If the vinaigrette is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water to thin it out and blend again.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with additional salt or honey if needed.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container for storage. Shake well before using.
Serve over your favorite salads, roasted vegetables, or use as a marinade.
