Elderflower Cordial is a wonderfully, refreshing summer drink but the cordial has other uses and makes a stunning Elderflower vinaigrette recipe. Use as any other vinaigrette for a delicious, light sweet dressing for your salads. The dressing also makes a good light sauce for fish or baked chicken.

This is the easiest dressing to make and adds a sparkle of summer sunshine to many dishes.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) elderflower cordial

  • 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • 2 teaspoons honey

Steps to Make It

  1. Place all the ingredients in a screw-top jar, screw on the lid and shake vigorously until all the ingredients are incorporated and creamy.

  2. Serve immediately on baby leaf salads or as a dressing on hot new potatoes. The dressing also makes a good light sauce for fish or baked chicken.
