Ingredients for the Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipe

What you will need to prepare this balsamic dressing recipe is listed below:

• Balsamic vinegar: This ingredient gives the dressing a rich, tangy, sweet flavor.
• Extra-virgin olive oil provides the dressing weight and richness.
• Dijon mustard: To give it more tang.
• Honey or maple syrup – It balances the mustard’s and balsamic’s acidity.
• For a flavorful, pungent depth of flavor, use garlic.
• Additionally, add salt and pepper to bring out each flavor.

You have two options for preparing this balsamic dressing: in a tiny dish or a jar with a secure lid.

Whisk the vinegar, honey, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper if you’re making it in a bowl. After that, whisk continually while drizzling in the olive oil. Season the dressing to taste once it has been emulsified.

Add all the ingredients, including the oil, to a jar and cover it if you choose to prepare the dressing that way. Until the dressing is emulsified, shake ferociously. So simple!

• Use it to marinate meat. Try it with these portobello mushroom burgers on the grill!
