Balsamic Vinaigrette

Share


I love a good salad.  When I make salads at home, I usually just buy my salad dressings.  But we had a salad dressing mixer bottle lying around and I figured I should at least try it.  So I decided to make a balsamic vinaigrette.  After a few iterations, I discovered an amazing salad dressing that was fresh, light and super easy to make.  Who knew?  I had no idea that a fresh salad dressing only took a couple of minutes to make.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, honey, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, garlic and olive oil to a shaker bottle, salad dressing mixer or mason jar.

Shake or spin until the dressing is emulsified.

Serve over your favorite salad mix.
