Ingredients
- 1/2 cup passion fruit juice: Adds a tangy, tropical flavor that’s both sweet and slightly acidic.
- 1/8 cup apple cider vinegar: Provides a zesty kick and balances the sweetness of the passion fruit.
- 1/8 cup honey: Sweetens the vinaigrette and complements the fruit’s natural sugars.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil: (optional for extra richness) Adds a smooth texture and helps to blend the flavors together.
Instructions
-
Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, pour in the passion fruit juice, apple cider vinegar, and honey. If you’re using olive oil, add it to the mixture as well.
-
Whisk or Shake: Use a whisk to blend the ingredients together until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined. If using a jar, close it tightly and shake vigorously until the vinaigrette is fully emulsified.
-
Taste and Adjust: Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the sweetness or acidity to your preference. You can add a bit more honey for sweetness or a splash more vinegar for extra tang.
-
Serve: Drizzle over your favorite salads. This vinaigrette is especially delicious on salads with fresh greens, strawberries, mandarin oranges, and shredded cheddar cheese. It also pairs excellently with grilled or roasted meats, particularly Jamaican Jerk Chicken.
-
Store: If you have any leftover vinaigrette, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake well before using, as separation may occur.
