Spicy Vinaigrette Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and honey until the mixture is fully combined and slightly thickened.
2. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and whisk until fully combined.
3. Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning as necessary.
4. Store the spicy vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Verdict:

The spicy vinaigrette is a perfect balance of tangy and sweet, with a kick of heat from the red pepper flakes. It’s versatile enough to use as a salad dressing, marinade for grilled meats, or as a dipping sauce for vegetables.

Serving Suggestions:

• Drizzle the spicy vinaigrette over a mixed green salad with sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese.
• Marinate chicken breasts in the vinaigrette for at least an hour before grilling.
• Use the vinaigrette as a dip for roasted carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini.
