Confetti Dressing recipe image

This vibrant confetti dressing brings a burst of fresh flavor and color to any green salad. Unlike smooth emulsions, this recipe celebrates texture, featuring finely chopped celery, green onions, peppers, and pimiento-stuffed olives suspended in a tangy oil and vinegar base. The sweetness of the sugar balances the sharpness of the vinegar, while the salt enhances the natural flavors of the vegetables. It’s a perfect choice for summer picnics, potlucks, or when you want to add a homemade touch to store-bought greens. The “confetti” appearance makes it visually appealing, inviting guests to dig in. Simple to blend and even easier to serve, this dressing keeps well in the fridge, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen over time.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash and dry the celery, green onions, and green pepper thoroughly.
  2. Roughly chop the celery stalk, green onions (including tops), and green pepper into large chunks to fit your blender.
  3. Place the chopped celery, green onions, green pepper, and pimiento-stuffed olives into the container of a blender or food processor.
  4. Pour in the salad oil, vinegar, and add the sugar and salt.
  5. Pulse the blender several times until the vegetables are finely chopped but still retain some texture, resembling colorful confetti. Do not blend into a smooth puree.

  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
  8. Shake or stir well before drizzling over your favorite salad greens.
