A versatile, spoon-licking, delicious salad dressing you whip up with fresh dates in about 10 minutes. This dressing pairs well with any salad that includes fruit and is delicious with both green and bitter lettuce.
Pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds of freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup good olive oil
Instructions
Put the dates, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, shallot, dijon, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor and blend on high until all the ingredients are well combined. Slowly add up to 1/4 cup of warm water until you reach the thickness you prefer. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use. Dressing will thicken up in the refrigerator.
Notes
I roughly chop the dates before putting them in the blender or food processor to help avoid a large date getting stuck in the blade.
