Ingredients
  

  • 2 large red bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional, for added sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven’s broiler or set up a gas stove flame. Place the red peppers on a baking sheet under the broiler, or hold them over the flame with tongs, turning occasionally until the skin is charred and blackened, about 5–7 minutes.
  • Place the peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes. Once cooled, peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and set the peppers aside.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted peppers, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, honey or maple syrup, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Add salt and black pepper to taste, then blend again briefly to combine.
  • Use the dressing immediately or refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to a week. Shake or stir before using.
