Friends were coming over any minute and I needed a great salad dressing for a very plain salad. I was craving a vinaigrette with a little sweetness to balance off the bitter arugula in the salad. This one is a great mix of sweetness, vinegar, and oil. Stores well in the fridge for another couple of servings.
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Place the vinegar, onion, soy sauce, honey, sugar, garlic, and red pepper flakes into a blender. Puree on high, gradually adding the olive oil. Continue pureeing 2 minutes, or until thick. Pour over individual salad servings or add to a large bowl of salad and toss right before serving. |
this was SO GOOD. I dipped bread in it, slathered my salad with it, even put some on my steak! And let's be honest, I could have drank it... Making this recipe for sure!
ReplyDeleteI should clarify. We used hot chili flakes when I made this. Very good if you like things a little spicy!
