Grilled Peach and Honey Mustard Dressing

INGREDIENTS

• 2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for grilling peaches)
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (optional for texture)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil (for the dressing)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional for brightness)

Instructions

1. Grill the Peaches:
   Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the peach halves with olive oil. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until charred and softened. Remove and let them cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Dressing:
   Scoop the grilled peach flesh into a blender or food processor. Add Dijon mustard, honey, vinegar, lemon juice (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Blend:
   Blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the 3 tablespoons of olive oil until the dressing is creamy and emulsified.
4. Taste and Adjust:
   Taste and adjust seasoning—add more honey for sweetness or vinegar for tang, if desired.
5. Serve or Store:
   Pour over fresh salads, grilled chicken, or roasted veggies. Store leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.
