If you’d like a fun Fall or holiday twist to your salads or your roasted veggies, you’re going to love this recipe for Pumpkin Vinaigrette.
I’ve honestly, had this idea to try in my head for a few months now, for both salads and roasting veggies. I love to use a good vinaigrette dressing when roasting veggies or small potatoes on our grill or in our oven. I think it makes such a difference, and you don’t need to add anything else to your veggies when using a vinaigrette. Where we live, it’s still grilling weather, so this pumpkin vinaigrette is perfect to try while making your favorite Fall meals on the grill.
Pumpkin Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (EVOO) olive oil
- ? cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon of thyme or fresh thyme if you have on hand*
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or 1 date)*
- 3 Tablespoons of water
Using fresh herbs makes it even better. But if you don’t have any on hand, dried herbs will do just fine.
