Ingredients:
- 1 cup (150g) fresh pineapple chunks (or canned pineapple in 100% juice, drained)
- 3 tablespoons (45ml) extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon (1g) chili flakes (optional, for a hint of spice)
- 1/4 teaspoon (1g) salt, or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon (0.5g) freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and chop fresh pineapple into chunks (if using fresh). Juice the lime and mince the garlic (if using).
- Blend the Base: In a blender or food processor, combine pineapple chunks, lime juice, honey, garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
- Emulsify the Dressing: While the blender is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to create a creamy, emulsified texture.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed (e.g., more salt, honey, or lime juice).
- Store or Serve: Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Shake well before serving.
