Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 200g) Sweet onion
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the sweet onion into small pieces or roughly chop it if you plan to use a blender or food processor.
In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the chopped sweet onion, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, and water.
Blend the ingredients on high speed for 30–60 seconds, or until the dressing is smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, honey for sweetness, or vinegar for tang based on your preference.
Once the dressing is smooth and well-balanced in flavor, transfer it to a clean glass jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together and for the mixture to thicken slightly.
Serve drizzled over fresh greens, grain bowls, or use as a dip for vegetables. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before using.
