Ingredients
  

Dressing Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh rhubarb, chopped Use firm and vibrant rhubarb for the best flavor.
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness according to preference.
  • ¼ cup olive oil Add gradually for emulsion.
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chopped rhubarb and water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, allowing it to simmer until the rhubarb is soft, approximately 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool.
  2. In a blender, combine the cooled rhubarb, apple cider vinegar, and honey (or maple syrup). Blend until smooth.
  3. Gradually add in the olive oil while blending to create an emulsion. This will give the vinaigrette a silky texture.
  4. Add salt and pepper according to your preference. Blend again briefly to combine all the ingredients.
  5. Pour the vinaigrette into a sealed container and store it in the refrigerator until needed. Shake well before serving.

Notes

This vinaigrette pairs beautifully with fresh mixed greens and toasted almonds, or can be used as a marinade for chicken or fish. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, consider freezing in ice cube trays.
