Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 0.25 cup Red Wine Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Harissa Paste
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, start by whisking together the red wine vinegar, harissa paste, and lemon juice. This will ensure that the harissa is well dispersed in the vinaigrette.
Grate or finely mince the garlic clove, then add it to the vinegar mixture along with the ground cumin and ground coriander for a burst of flavor.
Slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture. This helps to emulsify the vinaigrette, creating a smooth consistency.
Season the vinaigrette with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary to suit your palate.
For best results, let the vinaigrette sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Store any leftover vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use as separation may occur.
