Roasted Red Pepper Vinaigrette

One of my favorite things is roasted red peppers, so I was happy to find this recipe for Roasted Red Pepper Vinaigrette. Of course, the roasted red pepper flavor is delicious. But the vinegar gives it a little bite, and the honey balances it all out. Sometimes my husband and I will have salad week for dinner and we will change up the salads and make a couple of dressings for the week. This dressing has become one of my favorites!

Roasted Red Pepper Vinaigrette

Simply Delicious

Roasted Red Pepper Vinaigrette is easy to make and you probably have all of the ingredients in your pantry. I used jarred roasted red peppers instead of roasting my own, but either will work.

We like this dressing to be smooth. But you can adjust the consistency a bit by not running the food processor as long. Or run it longer. You might want to check it after a few seconds to see if it’s where you want it to be.

Steamed Carrots with Lemon-Dill Vinaigrette

Carrots are one of my favorite veggies. They keep forever in the fridge so I can always have some on hand. And I can often find them late into the season. This simple recipe for steamed carrots with lemon-dill vinaigrette gives your boring carrots a really nice Dijon kick that isn’t overwhelming.

Steamed Carrots with Lemon-Dill Vinaigrette

Nothing Fancy. Just Great Carrots.

This recipe uses ingredients I usually have on hand. Sometimes I don’t have a fresh lemon. So either skip the zest or use a bit of lemon pepper instead. And I’m just about downright lucky if I find fresh dill at our local grocery store. I often end up using dried instead. Either way this steamed carrots with lemon-dill vinaigrette is a fantastic side dish.

Also try my roasted carrots. They’re easy and delicious. For something a little different, my spicy cranberry glazed carrots are quite yummy too! But make these steamed carrots with lemon-dill vinaigrette first!
