BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE - LOW FAT/LOW CALORIE



Balsamic Vinaigrette - Low Fat/Low Calorie image

I developed this recipe to be low-point on Weight Watchers but high on flavor. I built it around one of my favorite spice blends, Sunny Paris, from Penzeys Spices. My mother always kept some garlic infused olive oil in her cabinet and I incorporated it for a great flavor carrier in this dressings.

Categories     Salads

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 3

3/4 c highest quality balsamic vinegar
1-2 Tbsp olive oil, infused with garlic
2+ tsp sunny paris spice blend from penzeys spices - to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Note: Prepare prior to making recipe: Place five peeled garlic cloves in olive oil bottle containing 1/2 cup of olive oil and let the garlic infuse the oil for several days. The oil can be used for several weeks for other purposes as well.
  • 2. Measure all ingredients into a dressing bottle and shake. Use "Sunny Paris" spice to taste. You can use any herbs or blend you might like. I use about 12 T. (3/4 of Balsamic Vinegar) to 1 T. of oil, but you can increase the oil if you like.

Tips:

  • Always use good quality olive oil, as it will greatly enhance the flavor of your vinaigrette.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • You can add a small amount of honey or maple syrup to your vinaigrette to make it a little sweeter.
  • If you want a thicker vinaigrette, you can add a small amount of Dijon mustard or tahini.
  • You can also add herbs, spices, or other flavorings to your vinaigrette to taste.
  • Store your vinaigrette in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Balsamic vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and even meats. It is also a great way to add some extra flavor to your meals. With so many different variations to choose from, you are sure to find a balsamic vinaigrette that you love.
