Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons Harissa paste
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Water (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, harissa paste, minced garlic, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the bowl while continuously whisking. This helps emulsify the dressing and ensures a smooth texture.

Step 3

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the vinaigrette is too thick, you can add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 4

Transfer the vinaigrette into a sealable jar or bottle and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 5

Shake well before using. This vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
