Joanna Gaines Blush Wine Vinaigrette

This smooth and sweet Joanna Gaines Blush Wine Vinaigrette is made with blush wine vinegar, mixed berry jam, and olive oil, and ready in 5 minutes. Shaking the warm water with the sugars ensures a perfectly glossy emulsion before the oil even hits the jar. I prefer making this fresh at home rather than reaching for a store-bought bottle.

Restaurant-Quality At Home

I have always been a fan of the fresh salads served at Magnolia Table, and finding out how simple this dressing is was a welcome surprise. Using hot water to dissolve the sugar and jam before adding the oil ensures the texture is wonderfully smooth.

At first, I tried mixing everything at once, but the jam clumped up with the cold oil. Taking that extra moment to dissolve the sugars makes all the difference in achieving that glossy finish.

Joanna Gaines Blush Wine Vinaigrette Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons blush wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons hot water
• 2 teaspoons mixed berry jam
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 pinch kosher salt

How To Make Joanna Gaines Blush Wine Vinaigrette

1. Combine the Base: In a small glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, add the sugar, blush wine vinegar, hot water, mixed berry jam, and garlic powder.
2. Dissolve the Sugars: Swirl or shake the jar briefly until the hot water helps melt the sugar and the berry jam.
3. Add the Oil: Pour in the extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt.
4. Shake Vigorously: Secure the lid on the jar and shake vigorously for 30 seconds until the vinaigrette is completely emulsified and smooth.

Recipe Tips

• Use hot water: The hot water is crucial because it melts the sugar and jam, preventing a grainy texture in your finished dressing.
• Choose a good quality jam: Since the mixed berry jam provides a lot of the fruit flavor, pick one that is thick and rich without high fructose corn syrup.
• Shake before serving: Oil and vinegar will naturally separate as they sit, so always give the jar a good shake right before pouring.

What To Serve With Blush Wine Vinaigrette

This sweet and fruity dressing pairs beautifully with mixed greens, sliced fresh strawberries, and candied walnuts. It is also fantastic drizzled over a simple spinach salad with crumbled feta or goat cheese.

How To Store

Store the vinaigrette in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to one week. The olive oil may solidify slightly when cold, so let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes and shake well before using.

FAQs

What is blush wine vinegar?

Blush wine vinegar is made from a blend of red and white wine, giving it a milder, slightly sweeter flavor than harsh white or red wine vinegars.

Can I use a different jam?

Yes, if you do not have mixed berry jam, strawberry or raspberry jam will work perfectly as a substitute and still offer that fruity sweetness.

Can I whisk this in a bowl instead?

Absolutely. You can whisk the ingredients in a bowl, streaming the olive oil in last while whisking constantly to create a smooth emulsion.
