BALSAMIC VINEGAR DRESSING



Balsamic Vinegar Dressing image

A classic dressing that everyone should know! The "formula" is 1 part vinegar to 3 parts oil. Some people who like sharper dressing will use less oil. The better the quality of the vinegar and oil, the better the dressing!

Provided by Nagi | RecipeTin Eats

Time 2m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar ((ordinary, not caramelised or syrupy))
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil ((or less if you like sharper dressing))
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil ((or less if you like sharper dressing))
Salt and pepper to taste
Honey or sugar (, to taste)

Steps:

  • Place ingredients in a jar and shake very well. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Keeps for 3 weeks on the counter (unless it is very hot where you are, store it in the fridge), assuming you use fresh olive oil. Do not keep for more than 4 weeks as high quality olive oil tends to lose flavour beyond 4 weeks after opening the bottle.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • Season the dressing to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
  • Let the dressing rest for a few minutes before using: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can also store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Use the dressing on salads, grilled vegetables, or roasted meats: It is also a great marinade for chicken, fish, or tofu.
