Tips:

For the best flavor, use high-quality balsamic vinegar. Look for a vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until it thickens and reduces by half.
To make a thicker dressing, add more mayonnaise or sour cream. For a thinner dressing, add more milk or water.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own unique dressing. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and onion powder.
This dressing is best used fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
