It’s not even officially fall yet, and it will be awhile before Arizona gets its version of fall, but I am already going pumpkin-crazy. I had some leftover pumpkin puree and I knew I’d be making a chopped salad (stay tuned for that), so naturally I wanted to concoct some sort of pumpkin vinaigrette. I have to say, it’s pretty darn amazing!

It’s got everything you could ask for in a dressing. Sweet, tart, savory and a bit of spice. Pumpkin spice 🙂 If you look closely, you can see those little bits of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger floating around in there. You can, of course, customize the intensity of these to your personal preferences.

Everything goes into the food processor. Soooo easy.

This dressing has all the usual suspects in a vinaigrette…vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, onion and garlic, etc. But then I kicked it up a notch and added the flavors of fall: pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg and fresh ginger. I balanced out the acidity with agave syrup and seasoned with salt and pepper.

Voila! Serve over your favorite salad (or even better … our own Harvest Salad – coming soon! )
