Cherry Vinaigrette
Report
This Cherry Vinaigrette is a standard olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette made with the addition of reduced fresh or frozen cherries, honey, garlic, and a bit of Dijon mustard. It's the perfect salad dressing for mixed greens salad like my arugula spinach salad with goat cheese and strawberries.

Ingredients
Cherry vinaigrette
- 8 ounces (1½ cups) sweet cherries (about 25 to 30)
- 1 clove garlic, chopped or chopped with the food processor
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Cherry vinaigrette
- Remove the stems and pit the cherries and then place them in a small saucepan with enough water to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Heat the cherries on low until they have burst and the liquid has thickened so that a spatula drawn across the bottom leaves a trail that lasts for a few seconds. Remove from heat and let cool briefly.
- If using a food processor, add the garlic first and process until minced.
- Add the remaining ingredients except for the olive oil and process until smooth.
- Add the olive oil (If using a food processor, add the olive oil through the chute with the processor going) and emulsify.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 1 and ¼ cups of cherry vinaigrette or about 20 one-tablespoon servings.
- Adjust the sweetness with a little more honey as needed if your cherries are not very sweet.
- As with all salads, it's best to dress your salad prior to serving.
