Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Harissa paste
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, start by combining the harissa paste and red wine vinegar. Whisk them together until the harissa paste is fully dissolved in the vinegar.

Step 2

Add in the honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, and ground cumin. Whisk the mixture well to ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Step 3

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the vinaigrette. This will give the dressing a smooth and cohesive texture.

Step 4

Season the vinaigrette with salt and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more if necessary.

Step 5

Transfer the finished harissa vinaigrette to a clean jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 6

For best results, refrigerate the vinaigrette for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Shake well before each use. Drizzle over your favorite salads, roasted vegetables, or use it as a marinade for meats.
