Instructions
Sherry Shallot Dressing
- Step 1
Place the diced shallots in a small bowl and cover them with cold water. Let the shallots sit for 10-30 minutes. (This will remove any sharp, pungent flavors.) Drain the shallots.
- Step 2
Then, place the shallots, sherry vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon zest in a blender. Season with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, scraping the sides of the blender with a rubber spatula halfway through.
- Step 3
With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle the olive oil and avocado oil into the dressing until it's smooth and creamy. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.

- Step 5
Right before serving, add about 1/3 of the dressing to the salad and toss well. Taste and add more dressing, salt, and pepper if needed. Enjoy!
