Paprika Vinaigrette

Adapted from All Recipes

About a month ago, I hosted a murder mystery dinner party.  The menu consisted simply of broccoli cheese soup, bread, salad and a key lime pie for dessert.  Since it was a fairly simple meal, I decided to make my own vinaigrette to accompany the salad.  But it was a last minute decision, so I needed to find a recipe with great reviews AND with ingredients that I already had on hand.  This recipe fit the bill.  It's always a little risky to serve a new recipe to guests without trying it first, but luckily this turned out fantastic.  The vinaigrette is just slightly spicy; it has a little zing to it.  It's unique and yummy enough that I made it again quite soon!

Ingredients:

• ½ cup red wine vinegar
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 Tbs Dijon mustard
• 1 Tbs lime juice
• ¾ tsp ground black pepper
• ¾ tsp salt
• 1 ¼ tsp paprika
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 Tbs chopped onion
• ¼ tsp oregano
• 1 pinch white sugar
• ½ cup olive oil

Directions:

Blen the red wine vinegar, honey, mustard, lime juice, pepper, salt, paprika, garlic, onion, oregano, and sugar together in a blender until thoroughly mixed.  Drizzle the olive oil into the mixture while blending on low.  Chill until ready to serve.
