Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh, organic rose petals
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 piece Garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh rose petals thoroughly under cool water to remove any dirt or impurities. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
In a small pot, bring 2 tablespoons of water to a gentle simmer. Add the rose petals and let them steep for 2 minutes to soften their texture. Remove from heat and allow them to cool.
In a blender or food processor, combine the steeped rose petals, olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and emulsified. If the dressing is too thick, you can add a small amount of water (1 teaspoon at a time) to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to balance the flavors.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or bottle and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the dressing a good shake or stir. Drizzle it over your favorite salad, fruit plate, or use it as a light sauce for grilled vegetables.
