Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipe

Balsamic Vinaigrette

I like making salad dressing myself so that I know exactly what goes ins it. No preservatives!

This is pretty much the only salad dressing that we use for our homemade salads. It’s SO MUCH better than any bottled variety that I have ever tried.

    Andrea: Glad you liked it! We like our dressing to be a little thicker, which is why we use a bit more mustard, but you can definetely omit some of it. :)

    Deb: I haven’t left it for more than 5 days, but you could probably get away with a week. I’ll have to test it by leaving it in there longer and seeing how long it maintains it’s freshness. :)

    Thanks

    I make a variation that we use on spinach salads:

    1 cup olive oil
    1/2 cup balsamic
    2 tablespoons brown sugar
    1-2 cloves crushed garlic
