Ingredients
Scale
- 2 peaches, diced (ripe peaches are key for the best flavor)
- 2 tablespoons honey (for natural sweetness)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (adds tanginess and depth)
- 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar (or cider vinegar for a slightly different flavor)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for richness and smoothness)
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce (adds a savory umami kick)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (for a hint of sharpness)
- Salt and pepper to taste (to enhance all the flavors)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches:
If you want to add a smoky flavor, grill the peaches for a few minutes on each side until they’re slightly charred. Otherwise, just dice them up fresh. - Blend Everything Together:
Add the peaches, honey, Dijon mustard, white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, tamari (or soy sauce), garlic, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. - Adjust the Consistency:
If the dressing is too thick, add a splash of water or extra vinegar to thin it out to your desired consistency. - Store and Serve:
Transfer the vinaigrette to an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It’s ready to use right away, but the flavors will deepen if you let it sit for an hour or so.
Notes
- Grilling the peaches adds a smoky depth to the vinaigrette but is optional.
- This dressing will last about a week in the fridge.
- If you prefer a more intense flavor, let it sit for a bit before serving to let the flavors meld together.
