Sweet, tangy, and with a gentle kick. This bright vinaigrette blends pure ALSHIFA Acacia honey with lime, cilantro, and fresh jalapeño — perfect over greens, grilled chicken, or a taco salad. It comes together in one blender in under five minutes.
Yield: Makes 3/4 cup
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon jalapeño pepper, coarsely chopped
- 1 large garlic clove, quartered
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup ALSHIFA Acacia Honey
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil, such as canola
Directions
- In a blender, combine the vinegar, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
- With the blender running, slowly add the ALSHIFA honey, followed by the oil, until the vinaigrette is emulsified and creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve right away or store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.
Tip: For more heat, leave the jalapeño seeds in. For a milder dressing, remove them before blending. Keeps up to a week refrigerated — shake well before serving.
