Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Peel and finely dice the sweet onion.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the sautéed onions, remaining olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and water.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more vinegar or honey for acidity or sweetness.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld together. Shake well before each use.
