The weather is finally starting to cool down here in Coachella Valley, and we’re officially on our journey to a #FitGirlFall! This recipe will keep you feeling healthy and satisfied in between the upcoming holiday feasts.
Our Balsamic Date Vinaigrette, made with Coachella’s Best Organic Medjool Dates, is a sweet addition to your favorite fall salads, wraps, or veggie platters. It’s a simple recipe that you can whip up on a whim, then refrigerate and store to use when you need it! Pro tip: You can also make this delicious dressing using our Deglet Dates if you prefer a more nutty flavor.
If you need inspiration, our favorite way to enjoy this dressing is drizzled over a harvest salad with mixed greens, apples, cranberries, pecans or walnuts, and feta cheese!
Ingredients
- 6-8 Coachella’s Best Organic Medjool Dates (pitted)
- ½ cup white balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup water
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- Generous drizzle of olive oil
Directions
- Prepare your Medjool Dates by simply slicing them longways and removing the pit inside. Cutting the dates in half will also help them blend easily.
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor.
- Process the ingredients until dates are well blended and you have a thick, liquid consistency.
- Remember, this recipe is easily adjustable! Taste test your dressing, then add ingredients as needed for your desired flavor. (We like to add more dates for a sweeter taste.)
- Keep your dressing stored in an airtight container, refrigerate, and use as desired!
