Elevate your salads! This vibrant Peach Honey Dijon Balsamic Vinaigrette perfectly balances sweet peach, tangy balsamic, and sharp Dijon, whisked to luscious perfection.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons peach preserves
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, peach preserves, Dijon mustard, honey, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Whisk these ingredients vigorously until they are well combined and the peach preserves are mostly dissolved or fully incorporated into the mixture.
  3. Step 3: While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil in a steady, thin stream. Continue to whisk until the vinaigrette is fully emulsified, appearing creamy and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or a touch more honey for sweetness, or balsamic for additional tang.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately over salads, grilled vegetables, or use as a light marinade. Store any leftover vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, shaking well before each use.

Notes

  • This vinaigrette loves a cool spot; store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, and remember to give it a vigorous shake before each use to bring back its smooth texture.
  • If your vinaigrette has thickened in the fridge, simply let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes and give it a hearty shake to restore its pourable consistency and vibrant flavor.
  • Beyond crisp salads and grilled veggies, try this vibrant vinaigrette drizzled over roasted beef tenderloin, as a glaze for pan-seared scallops, or even to brighten up a fresh fruit salsa for a truly unique taste.
  • The secret to a perfectly creamy vinaigrette is slow and steady; drizzle the olive oil into your vinegar mixture in a thin, continuous stream while whisking vigorously to achieve a beautiful, lasting emulsification.
