Herby Shallot Vinaigrette

2 cups

Shallots, fresh herbs, apple cider vinegar, and honey create a tangy vinaigrette with just the right amount of sweetness. Use it in salads, like this Green Herb Salad (link), over roasted vegetables, or drizzled on grain bowls.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup coarsely chopped shallots
  • 2 tablespoons thyme and/or oregano leaves
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon or grainy mustard, optional
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 1 cup avocado or olive oil

Directions

  1. Place the shallots, herbs, and apple cider vinegar in the blender carafe. Allow to sit for 5 minutes to soften the shallots in the vinegar.

  2. Add the honey, mustard (if desired), ½ teaspoon salt, and a few fresh grindings of pepper. Pulse to combine and break up the shallots. Scrape down the sides of the blender.

  3. With the motor on low, slowly stream in the oil through the top of the carafe until combined.

  4. Stop and taste the vinaigrette, adding more seasoning or honey to reach your desired taste.

Note

Keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
