Bright, tangy, and lightly sweet, this vinaigrette combines honey, fresh ginger, and cider vinegar for a dressing that’s as versatile as it is flavorful. It’s wonderful tossed with mixed greens, drizzled over grain bowls, or used as a marinade for chicken or fish.
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup pure honey
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
Pepper, to taste
METHOD:
Combine all ingredients in a blender and process on high for 1 minute, until smooth and emulsified.
-
Alternative: Place ingredients in a lidded jar or vinaigrette shaker and shake vigorously until blended.
The dressing will be thick. For a lighter consistency (especially for delicate greens), add up to 1/4 cup water and blend or shake again.
Transfer to a clean jar or container, seal tightly, and refrigerate. The vinaigrette will keep for several weeks.
Before each use, shake well to recombine if the dressing has separated.
YIELD: Makes about 3/4 cup, enough for salad for 8 to 10
