Sweet Onion Dijon Vinaigrette Recipe
The Sweet Onion Dijon Vinaigrette Recipe is smooth, tangy and full of fresh flavor. It’s a perfect mix of sweet onions, Dijon mustard and vinegar.
Ingredients
- ½ cup chopped sweet onion
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- ¾ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Onion
- Peel and chop a sweet onion. Vidalia or Walla Walla onions work best.
Blend the Ingredients
- Add chopped onion, Dijon mustard, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth.
Add the Olive Oil
- While blending, slowly pour in olive oil. This helps the vinaigrette become creamy and well mixed.
Taste and Adjust
- Taste the dressing. Add more honey for sweetness or more mustard for spice.
Store and Serve
- Pour the vinaigrette into a jar. Chill for 30 minutes before serving to let flavors blend.
Notes
- Use fresh sweet onions for a mild, smooth flavor.
- Add white wine vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar for a lighter taste.
- Use honey mustard if you prefer a sweeter vinaigrette.
- Shake well before each use if stored in the fridge.
- Drizzle it over grilled chicken or roasted vegetables for extra flavor.
