Ingredients

• 2 large (whole, jarred or freshly roasted) roasted red peppers
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh red peppers, start by roasting them. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place whole red peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning every 5-7 minutes, until the skin is charred and blistered. Remove from the oven, place the hot peppers in a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap to steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the charred skin, remove seeds, and set aside.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and water.

Step 3

Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add 1 additional tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or honey as needed.

Step 5

Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Shake or stir before serving. Use this dressing within 5-7 days for best results.
