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
