Ingredients

• 1 whole Roasted red pepper
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Water (optional)

Directions

Step 1

If you're using a store-bought roasted red pepper, drain it thoroughly. If roasting your own, char the red pepper over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is blackened, allow it to cool, and remove the skin, stem, and seeds.

Step 2

Roughly chop the red pepper into smaller pieces and add it to a blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and black pepper to the blender.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high until smooth and emulsified. If the vinaigrette is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water to thin it out and blend again.

Step 5

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with additional salt or honey if needed.

Step 6

Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container for storage. Shake well before using.

Step 7

Serve over your favorite salads, roasted vegetables, or use as a marinade.
