Dressing Ingredients- 4 ripe kiwis
- 1/2 medium onion
- 2 Tbsp oligodang (corn syrup) or honey
- 2 Tbsp vinegar (apple cider, rice vinegar, etc.)
- 4 Tbsp avocado oil (or other neutral oil like grapeseed or light olive oil)
- 1 Tbsp sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your key ingredients: kiwi and onion. Peel the kiwis and rinse them under cool water. You’ll need about 4 medium-sized kiwis. Cut them into roughly 2cm chunks. For the onion, remove the outer skin and rinse it. Mince the onion very finely. If you find raw onion too pungent, you can soak the minced onion in cold water for about 5-10 minutes, then drain thoroughly before use.
Step 2
Place the chopped kiwis into a blender or food processor. The soft texture of the kiwi will create a smooth and luscious dressing.
Step 3
Add the finely minced onion to the blender along with the kiwi. The onion adds a subtle depth and balances the sweetness of the fruit.
Step 4
Measure and add 2 tablespoons of oligodang (or honey) for a touch of sweetness. You can adjust the amount of sweetener to your preference.
Step 5
Pour in 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Any type of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar, will work well to provide a pleasant tanginess.
Step 6
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar. This can enhance the overall sweetness, but feel free to omit or increase it based on the natural sweetness of your kiwis and your taste.
Step 7
Finally, add 4 tablespoons of avocado oil. Its neutral flavor makes it an excellent choice for dressings. You can substitute with other neutral oils like grapeseed oil or a light olive oil.
Step 8
Secure the lid on your blender and process until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can create too much foam.
Step 9
Pour the beautifully blended ‘Kiwi Onion Dressing’ into a bowl. Admire its vibrant color and smooth consistency – it’s a feast for the eyes! Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or acidity if needed to achieve your perfect balance.
Step 10
Drizzle this delicious ‘Kiwi Onion Dressing’ generously over your favorite fresh greens or salad. Its refreshing and rich flavor will transform your salad into a culinary delight! It’s also fantastic as a sandwich spread or served alongside grilled chicken or fish.
