Sweet Shallot Vinaigrette

1.3

(1)

This is a light and very easy vinaigrette. I recommend serving it with any salad on which you'd like to use a flavorful but light dressing.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 2 cups

Ingredients

1/2 cup minced shallots
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 cup canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the shallots and sugar, stirring constantly, until the shallots start to soften and brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and combine the caramelized shallots, vinegar, and oil in a blender and mix until well blended. Season with salt and pepper. Chill for at least an hour before using. Use immediately or keep for up to 2 weeks.
