Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, picture this: I’m at the grocery store, right? And I’ve got my reusable bags and a slight obsession with peaches (seriously, they’re like nature’s candy). You’ll need one large peach (like the juiciest one you can find), 7 tablespoons of olive oil (or avocado oil if you’re feeling fancy), 4 tablespoons of vinegar (apple cider, balsamic or a splash of lemon juice works too – your call!), a tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and a couple tablespoons of maple syrup (or honey if that’s your jam). Oh, and don’t forget 2 garlic cloves, sea salt, and black pepper. Easy peasy!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, real talk. This dressing is special to me because it reminds me of summer BBQs with my fam. My cousin made it once, and I was like, “What is this magic?!” We drizzled it over grilled chicken, tossed it on a salad, and I think I even dipped some bread in it. 😂 (No regrets.) Plus, it’s so damn easy to whip up! I’m talking like 9 minutes total. I can usually make it while half-watching a cooking show. Multitasking at its finest, right?

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Alright, listen up! The magic here is all in the blender—seriously! Toss everything in there and blitz it until it’s creamy and dreamy. But here’s the kicker: make sure your peach is ripe. Like, it needs to be practically begging to be eaten. Riper fruit = a way better vinaigrette. Trust me on this!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

Okay, peeps, I’ve made a few goofs with this recipe (like the time I forgot the garlic—ugh). So, here are my hot tips: First, taste as you go. If it’s too tangy, add a lil’ more maple syrup. Too sweet? A splash more vinegar will save the day. And for the love of all things holy, don’t skip the Dijon mustard. It’s the glue holding this flavor bomb together!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if you somehow manage to have leftovers (unlikely, but hey, it happens), pop that vinaigrette in an airtight container and stick it in the fridge. It’ll last about a week, but trust me, you’ll wanna use it up way before then. 🌟 Just give it a shake before using, ‘cause it’ll separate a bit. No biggie!

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

If you’re vibing with this, you’ll absolutely adore my zesty lemon tahini dressing and a classic balsamic glaze! Both are super easy and totally elevate everything they touch.

So, what are you waiting for? Go grab those peaches! What’s your go-to summer dressing? I’m always looking for new ideas! 🍑✨
