23 minutes

Serrano pepper vinaigrette is a spicy, rich dressing that adds a distinctive fiery touch to dishes. The serrano pepper, popular in Mexican cuisine, gives this sauce a sharp heat softened by honey and rounded by the rich flavor of olive oil. Red wine vinegar adds acidity and depth of flavor, creating a perfect balance between sweet, spicy, and sour. This vinaigrette pairs wonderfully with fresh vegetable salads, meat dishes, or even as a marinade for fish. Its simplicity makes it accessible for any culinary level, while its versatility allows for experimentation in its use. An ideal choice for those looking to add a hint of spice to their dishes!
