Tips:

  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A good balsamic vinegar will have a rich, complex flavor that will add depth to your vinaigrette. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 10 years.
  • Choose a light-tasting olive oil. A light-tasting olive oil will not overpower the other ingredients in your vinaigrette. Look for an olive oil that is labeled "extra virgin" or "first cold pressed."
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will add a bright, vibrant flavor to your vinaigrette. Some good options include basil, oregano, and thyme.
  • Season your vinaigrette to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste until your vinaigrette is perfectly balanced.
  • Let your vinaigrette sit for a while before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
