Print Recipe

A bright, balanced, and fresh vinaigrette featuring ripe peaches, honey, Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar. Perfect for salads, marinades, and grilled dishes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe peach, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Peel the peach by blanching it in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunging into ice water to loosen the skin. Chop the peeled peach into chunks.
  2. Place the chopped peach into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add honey and Dijon mustard to the peach puree and blend again for 10 seconds to combine.
  4. Pour in balsamic vinegar and fresh lemon juice, then blend briefly to mix.
  5. With the blender running on low, slowly stream in the extra virgin olive oil to emulsify the dressing, about 30 seconds until thick and glossy.
  6. Add minced garlic (if using), salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Pulse the blender a few times to combine.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more balsamic or lemon juice if too sweet, or more honey if too tangy.
  8. Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake or stir before using.

Notes

For a chunkier texture, reserve some peach chunks to stir in after blending. Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid watery dressing. Add olive oil slowly to emulsify properly. Adjust sweetness and acidity to taste. Garlic is optional but recommended. This vinaigrette improves if chilled for 30 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Avoid heating; serve chilled or at room temperature.
