Sweet and Sour Dressing
Recipe information
Yield
Makes about 3/4 cup
Ingredients
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon canola oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large green onion, green and pale green parts, thinly sliced
Preparation
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until it turns light golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
Step 2
Whisk together the garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, ketchup, tomato paste, mustard, and honey in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup oil until emulsified and then stir in the green onion. The dressing can be made 1 day in advance and stored in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before using.
