Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients whenever possible. Fresh herbs, good-quality olive oil, and balsamic vinegar will make a world of difference in the flavor of your vinaigrette.
  • Adjust the proportions of the ingredients to suit your taste. If you like a sweeter vinaigrette, add more honey. If you prefer a more tangy vinaigrette, add more Dijon mustard or balsamic vinegar.
  • Let the vinaigrette rest for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Store the vinaigrette in a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Use the vinaigrette on salads, grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or as a marinade for chicken or fish.
