Balsamic Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar*
- 1 1/2 Tbsp honey**
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp minced garlic, or 1.5 Tbsp minced shallot
- 1/4 tsp (heaping) salt, then more to taste
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl, or pour into a jar (cover with lid) and shake.
- Preferrably chill for 1 hour before using. Whisk well before serving or shake well in jar again.
Notes
- *Every brand of balsamic vinegar has a different level of tartness. I recommend tasting it first, if it’s quite tart you can reduce to 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar.
- **The amount of honey can be adjusted based on how sweet you’d like dressing to be. If you are serving it with a strawberry salad I would recommend adding an additional 1 Tbsp honey or more to taste.
- Makes about 1 cup + 2 Tbsp dressing.
