- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Pit and dice the ripe peach into small pieces to ensure it blends smoothly.
- Blend Peach: Place the diced peach in a blender and blend until it becomes a smooth puree.
- Add Honey and Dijon: Add the honey and Dijon mustard to the peach puree and blend on a low setting until the mixture is fully combined.
- Add Balsamic Vinegar: Pour in the balsamic vinegar and blend again to achieve a uniform consistency.
- Incorporate Olive Oil: With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil. This process helps emulsify the dressing, making it well combined and slightly thickened.
