Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red peppers (most jars are about 7 oz, if you want to make your own, approximately 1 large bell pepper roasted pe)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (you can substitute red wine if you want, it changes the flavor a bit but it will work just fine)
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons shallots, minced
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
• salt
• pepper

Recipe

• 1 dressing -- if you are using jarred red pepper, drain and then add them and all the other ingredients to a food processor and blend. that is it! also, don't worry if you get a little of the roasted red pepper liquid in the food processor as well, it is all good flavor and it won't affect the dressing. once pureed, remove and transfer to a measuring cup or small bowl. perfect salad dressing. if you want add the red pepper flakes, it adds a nice kick. but if not, just leave them out. still a great dressing and so simple.
