Ingredients
Vinaigrette Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place all ingredients in a small food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and emulsified to create a well-mixed, creamy vinaigrette.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dressing and add additional salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes as desired to suit your preference.
- Alternative Mixing Method: If you don’t have a food processor or blender, whisk all ingredients vigorously in a small bowl or shake well in a mason jar until fully combined and emulsified.
- Serve: The vinaigrette can be served chilled or at room temperature, perfect for dressing salads or as a flavorful dip.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use a blender rather than a whisk.
- Use freshly grated parmesan for maximum flavor and better emulsification.
- Adjust the amount of honey to balance acidity to your taste.
- Store any leftover vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or whisk before use as separation may occur.
- This vinaigrette works well on green salads, pasta salads, or as a marinade for vegetables.
