Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 large ripe peach, peeled and pitted
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or substitute with champagne vinegar)
- 2 teaspoons honey (adjust for sweetness, if desired)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach: Peel and pit half of a large ripe peach to ensure smooth blending without any bitterness from the skin or hardness from the pit.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the prepared peach, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice (or champagne vinegar), honey, and sea salt.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the dressing becomes smooth and emulsified, around 1-2 minutes, adjusting sweetness if desired by adding more honey.
- Serve or Store: Pour the dressing over your favorite salad immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Stir or shake well before each use as separation may occur.
Notes
- Use a ripe peach for the best natural sweetness and flavor intensity.
- Substitute lemon juice with champagne vinegar for a slightly different acidic profile.
- Adjust honey quantity to control the sweetness according to your preference.
- This dressing pairs beautifully with mixed greens, nuts, and goat cheese.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and shake well before using.
