Red Wine Vinaigrette
Description
The Red Wine Vinaigrette recipe brings together a simple mixture of olive oil and red wine vinegar balanced with sugar to soften the acidity. Minced garlic provides a pungent bite, while paprika contributes gentle smoky notes. Kosher salt and black pepper season the dressing evenly. The ingredients are combined smoothly by using an immersion blender or vigorously shaken together, resulting in a harmonious and slightly creamy dressing. This vinaigrette is well-suited to green salads, roasted vegetables, or as a flavorful marinade.
Its texture is smooth and pourable, with a balanced tanginess from the vinegar and a rounded mouthfeel from the olive oil and sugar. The garlic and paprika deepen the flavor without overpowering the dressing.
The vinaigrette needs no cooking and can be stored in the fridge in a sealed container. It should be shaken before use to recombine any separated ingredients. It’s ready to dress salads or drizzle over grilled vegetables, adding brightness and mild spice.
Ingredients
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup red wine vinegar
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 garlic minced, medium cloves
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a jar or small bowl with tall sides. With an immersion blender, blitz ingredients a few times to combine. If you don't have an immersion blender, cover jar tightly with a lid and shake vigorously to combine.
Notes
- This vinaigrette can be stored refrigerated for up to a week; shake well before each use to recombine ingredients.
- Use a fresh, good-quality extra-virgin olive oil for best flavor and texture.
- The sugar balances the acidity and can be adjusted to taste.
- The immersion blender helps emulsify the dressing, but you can vigorously shake the mixture in a jar if you don't have one.
