Ingredients for Cumin Red Wine Vinaigrette
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil - I preach quality. My favorite brand in Cucina & Amore. A high-quality olive oil is determined by factors such as its source, extraction method, freshness, and balance of flavors, showcasing a harmonious blend of fruity, peppery, and grassy notes.
- Red Wine Vinegar - Red wine vinegar offers a tangy and robust flavor with subtle hints of fruitiness from the fermented red wine.
- Honey - always choose a local raw honey for maximum anti-allergens
- Cumin: This spice culturally belongs to Mexico, North Africa, India, and the Mediterranean. It is the perfect ingredient when you want to add warmth and earthiness to any dish. The use of this in the vinaigrette reminds me of both of my travels in Oaxaca as well as the Mediterranean.
- Dijon Mustard - Dijon mustard acts as an emulsifier in salad dressing due to its natural properties that help bind oil and vinegar together, creating a cohesive and smooth texture.
- Salt
- Black pepper
