One of my favorite food bloggers Use Real Butter (who is also the official photographer for Grampa’s Gourmet Honeys) recently posted a recipe for a Red Bell Pepper Honey Vinaigrette.  She used our Clover Honey in the recipe, and as always took lots of gorgeous pictures.

I also like the story behind the recipe: she had ordered the dish at a restaurant, asked for the recipe of the vinaigrette and when told that she couldn’t have it, she identified the flavors, jotted them down on her iphone and here’s the result:

Red Bell Pepper Honey Vinaigrette
Use Real Butter – inspired by McGill’s at Crested Butte

1 red bell pepper
1/8 cup red wine vinegar
2 tbsps honey
1/4 tsp oregano
pinch salt
1/4 – 1/2 cup olive oil

Wash, core, and de-seed the pepper. Slice into quarters or eighths and place in a blender with the red wine vinegar, honey, oregano and salt. Purée until smooth. It will look a little frothy. Don’t worry – it settles out. Pour the contents into a bowl and whisk a thin and steady stream of the olive oil into the purée until desired consistency/taste is reached. Tweek the dressing to your liking. Serve on something awesome… like a bed of greens and a few thin slices of blackened grilled flank steak.
