Go-To Balsamic Salad Dressing
To make this more of a "maple balsamic" dressing--a general crowd pleaser--add in an extra tablespoon or two of maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey, go for 3 if you want to taste it a bit more and sweeter; go for 1 if you want a more subtle flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- big pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a blender and blend on high. If you don't have a blender, no worries! Just whisk vigorously in a small bowl. Before serving or storing, taste test the dressing to make sure it is to your liking; it's easy to add more oil, maple syrup, or vinegar. Here's an important tip though: don't test the dressing but trying it on a fork with your finger. Instead, mimic how the dressing will be served: dip a piece of lettuce in the dressing. If you don't do it this way, the acidity of the vinegar will seem much stronger than it actually will be on the salad.
- Store in a covered container for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. Shake well before serving.
