Lighter than BBQ sauce by itself, and thicker and more flavorful than a traditional vinaigrette dressing. This BBQ vinaigrette just might be your new favorite BBQ sauce for drizzling on sliders and sandwiches.
Since it's not thick like usual BBQ sauce, it easily oozes in all the nooks and crannies of smoked meats. It's perfect for dressing smoked pork shoulder, pulled pork, smoked lamb shoulder, drizzling on a salad or over grilled veggies to complement your BBQ indulgence.
The jar-and-shake method works best for combining all the ingredients into a smooth dressing, but you can also add all ingredients to a bowl and slowly whisk in the oil to create an emulsion.
Use your favorite BBQ sauce that you have on hand combined with vinegar for extra tang, olive oil, salt, pepper and a little hot sauce for some extra kick to make sure you are paying attention. Since all BBQ sauces are so different, be sure to taste and adjust to your preference before using it.
