SPICED BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

“Cumin and crushed red pepper flakes add a kick to traditional balsamic vinaigrette dressing”.


3 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, pressed
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/3 cup olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste


Whisk the balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl. Whisk in the shallot, garlic, cumin, and crushed red pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking consistently until fully incorporated, and continue to whisk for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Let the dressing sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavor to develop.


Yield: 4 servings.
