Ingredients
Vinaigrette Ingredients
- 2 peaches, diced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar (or cider vinegar)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: Wash, pit, and dice the peaches into small pieces to ensure they blend smoothly into the vinaigrette.
- Combine ingredients: Place the diced peaches, honey, Dijon mustard, white balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, tamari or soy sauce, and minced garlic into a blending container or a bowl if using an immersion blender.
- Blend the vinaigrette: Using a blender or immersion blender, blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and emulsified, ensuring the peaches are fully incorporated.
- Season to taste: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your preference. Blend briefly to mix the seasoning evenly.
- Serve or store: Use the vinaigrette immediately over your favorite salads or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake or stir before use as the ingredients may separate over time.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet peaches for best flavor and sweetness balance.
- White balsamic vinegar offers a milder, slightly fruity acidity compared to regular balsamic—cider vinegar is a good substitute if unavailable.
- Adjust honey quantity depending on desired sweetness level.
- For a vegan option, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- This vinaigrette pairs well with fresh green salads, grilled chicken, or roasted vegetables.
- Store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; bring to room temperature and whisk before serving.
