Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 large ripe peach pitted and roughly chopped
  • 0.25 cup white balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp raw honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil or a mix of olive and avocado oil
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt adjust to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs thyme, parsley, or basil (finely chopped)

Equipment

  • Blender or Food Processor
  • Glass Mason Jar
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

  1. Wash, pit, and roughly chop the ripe peach. You can leave the skin on for color or peel it for a smoother texture.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped peach, white balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and pureed.
  4. With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle the olive oil in a steady, thin stream until fully emulsified and thickened.
  5. Transfer the dressing to a jar and manually stir in the finely chopped fresh herbs.
  6. Let sit for 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

If the dressing solidifies in the fridge due to the olive oil, let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes and shake vigorously before using.
