This simple BalsamicVinaigrette takes mere minutes to whip together and needs no special kitchen appliances! This tangy vinaigrette has nicely balanced flavors and a great thickness -- the perfect topping for a simple side salad, garden salad, or roasted vegetables!
COMBINE: In a wide-mouth jar, combine all the dressing ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper; I add 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Briskly shake to combine and emulsify. (Don't have a jar? Briskly whisk in a bowl instead!) Check to make sure honey isn't sticking to the bottom -- whisk it into the mixture if it is. Taste and adjust the flavor to personal preference.
STORAGE: Store in the fridge until ready to use. In an airtight container in the fridge, this dressing will stay good for 5-7 days. Heads up: Leftover dressing will separate and may even clump a bit (this is because olive oil solidifies at cold temperatures). Simply let the dressing stand at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes and then vigorously shake to re-combine. Then it's ready to use again!
Notes
Note 1: Flavors: We love Grey Poupon® Dijon best. Make sure to use Dijon, not yellow mustard. There’s a big flavor difference! Since the vinegars offer a fair amount of tang, we like balancing that out with some honey. If you'd prefer the dressing to remain tangy, leave out or reduce the honey. For a sweeter dressing, add additional honey, slowly, and to taste.Nutrition information is for a 1-tablespoon serving.
