NEVER buy a store bought dressing again…. INSTEAD make this 6 ingredient Easy Balsamic Vinaigrette. Store bought dressings have all sorts of hidden ingredients that we simply do not need to be putting in our bodies.
This simple vinaigrette is an easy recipe that can be made in advance (great for meal prep) and stored in your refrigerator for three weeks. The dressing is so versatile. I not only use it on salads but also on sandwiches, roasted vegetables and wraps. It can even be used as a chicken marinade.
Also, quality ingredients are important here so a good EVOO and balsamic are key.
Balsamic Vinaigrette
(About 1 ¾ Cups)
½ Cup Balsamic Vinegar - (Be sure to use high quality)
2 tsp. Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp. Honey
1 ¼ Tsp. Salt
½ Tsp. Pepper
1 ½ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
In a small jar (or blender) add the balsamic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt and pepper. Using an immersion blender or regular blender mix well(about 30 seconds). Gradually add in the olive oil and blend for about 1 minute until you have a thick consistency. Store in a jar (airtight) in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
