Plum Vinaigrette

This plum vinaigrette is super simple to make and delicious! It only requires a few ingredients and comes together really quickly. This dressing goes great over grilled plum salad, like I have pictured below or over any grilled meats or salads.

I use the skin of the plum in this vinaigrette because it gives it the most gorgeous reddish purple color. I then remove the plum’s skin before cooling and serving.

This makes about 1/2 cup vinaigrette and will store in your refrigerator for a long time. I realize that isn’t a definitive amount of time but I am sure you will use this up before it goes bad. This makes a small 1/2 cup batch and I usually use the whole thing with one meal that serves 2-3 people .

What you need to make plum vinaigrette:

Makes ~1/2 cup vinaigrette

  • 1 large plum – pit removed but skin still attached
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar or vinegar of choice
  • 1 tablespoon honey – if you like a sweeter vinaigrette then add 2 tablespoons
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small sauce pan, add plum, red wine vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt and pepper and bring mixture to a boil. reduce to a simmer. The plum will cook down and the skin will release it’s color.
  2. Remove from heat and remove the skin of the plum.
  3. Chill.
  4. Whisk or shake before use.
  5. Keep refrigerated.
