Directions:Gather the ingredients.
Peel, pit and chop the peach.
Combine the peach with the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until thoroughly combined. Taste and season to your liking.
Recipe Notes: The most effective way to peel a peach is to put it in boiling water for between 10 to 20 seconds, or until the skin splits. Pull it out with a slotted spoon and dump it into an ice water bath. After a few seconds of cooling, the skin will slip right off. You can also use a paring knife to peel the skin off, but you might take some of the flesh of the peach away with it.
Whenever possible, use high-quality oil and acid in homemade dressing recipes. Because there are so few ingredients, they all star in the final product. When you use low-quality ingredients, your salad dressing won't taste quite so delicious.
If you prefer the dressing to be a bit sweeter, add 1 tablespoon honey to the blender. For a spicier kick, add extra red cayenne pepper to the mixture.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, thin it out with up to 2 tablespoons of water.
The dressing can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.
You can modify this salad dressing with your favorite types of fat and acid, just use the standard ratio of 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. Taste as you add ingredients to find the variation that you like the most. |
