Cherry Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups frozen unsweetened pitted tart red cherries
- 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup dried cherries
- 1 large shallot, quartered
- 1 clove garlic, halved
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt or salt
- 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup salad oil
Directions
1. In a small saucepan, heat frozen cherries, uncovered, over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until cherries and their juices are reduced to 1/2 cup, stirring occasionally.
2. In a food processor or blender, combine cooked cherries, vinegar, dried cherries, shallot, garlic, honey, Dijon-style mustard, dry mustard, salt and black pepper. Cover and process or blend until smooth. With the processor or blender running, add the oil in a thin, steady stream and process for 1 to 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Cover and chill for up to 1 week. Use as salad dressing over tossed salads. Makes about 1-1/2 cups.
