Here in Georgia, when peach season rolls around and those fresh Georgia peaches start showing up at the farmers market, we rejoice! It's honestly our favorite time of the year, and this peach dressing is one of the best ways to use those beauties.
I love drizzling this peach salad dressing over our melon prosciutto salad - the combination of sweet fruit and salty prosciutto with this peachy goodness is absolutely divine. It's also fantastic on our summer salad with blackberries and peaches, where it ties all those beautiful fruit flavors together perfectly.
This peach vinaigrette recipe is super simple - just toss everything in a blender and you're done! But here's the thing: make sure your peaches are very ripe for the best peach flavor because that's what makes this dressing so good.
Why You'll Love This Peach Vinaigrette
- So incredibly easy - just blend and done! No whisking or complicated techniques needed
- Made with real ingredients - fresh peaches, extra virgin olive oil, and honey create amazing flavor
- Perfect for peach season - this is the ideal way to use those gorgeous fresh peaches at their peak
Ingredient Notes
- Fresh Peaches - Use those peaches at their peak ripeness! They should give slightly when pressed and smell absolutely divine. Fresh is always best, but you can use frozen (thawed and well drained) or canned (rinsed and well drained) in a pinch.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Good quality oil makes all the difference here - it's what gives this dressing its silky texture.
- White Wine Vinegar - This adds the perfect bright acidity to balance the sweetness. It also helps the peaches maintain their bright color.
- Honey - Just enough to enhance the natural peach sweetness.
- Dijon Mustard - This is the secret ingredient that helps emulsify everything together beautifully.
- Salt - A little goes a long way to bring out all those flavors.

How to Make Peach Vinaigrette
- Put all ingredients in a blender - add your peeled peach, extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, and salt.
- Blend until smooth - let that blender (or food processor) work its magic until everything is perfectly combined and silky smooth.
- Use immediately - this peach dressing is best enjoyed fresh, but it will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days if needed.
Expert Tips
- Use very ripe peaches - the riper they are, the more naturally sweet and flavorful your dressing will be
- If you don't have a large peach, use 2-3 small ones - just make sure they're super ripe for maximum peach flavor
- Taste and adjust - if your peaches are extra sweet, you might want a touch more vinegar; if they're a bit tart, add a little more honey
Storage Tips
I wouldn't store this dressing for very long because the color can change over time. It's best enjoyed fresh, but it will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days if needed.
Just give it a good shake before using since natural separation is totally normal.
