Date Vinaigrette

Yield: 1/2 cup

5 pitted dates, soaked in hot water for at least 5 minutes
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/2-inch fresh ginger, finely minced
1/2 tsp coriander
1/8 tsp chili flakes
1/8 tsp cinnamon
salt and pepper
reserved date soaking water

1. Combine the soaked dates (reserving the water), olive oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, ginger, coriander, chili flakes, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in an upright blender. Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary. Add a couple spoonfuls of the date soaking water to get the blade moving, if necessary. It should be totally pureed and almost creamy.
