Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large, pitted Dates
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by soaking the pitted dates in warm water for about 5 minutes to soften them. This will make it easier to blend them smoothly into the dressing.
After the dates have soaked, drain and discard the water. Place the softened dates into a blender or food processor.
Add the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and garlic clove to the blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and the dates are fully incorporated.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil. This should create a creamy emulsion as the dressing starts to thicken.
Once the oil is fully incorporated, add the salt and black pepper to the blender. Blend again for a few seconds to combine.
Taste your dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed with more salt or lemon juice for brightness.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use as some separation may occur.
