Balsamic Dressing
This delicious balsamic vinegar salad dressing recipe produces a vinaigrette style dressing with perfectly balanced flavours and real depth.
Servings: 10
- 60 ml balsamic vinegar
- 120 ml olive oil
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- pepper and salt to taste
Optional
- 1 tbsp runny honey - if your vinegar lacks sweetness and body
Put all the ingredients in a jar.
Screw the lid on tight and shake well.
Taste and adjust if necessary. When you are happy with the dressing, transfer to a suitable serving or storage bottle and keep in the fridge, bringing the dressing up to room temperature to serve.
Storage
Fridge – Like most dressings (unless you use fresh herbs), this balsamic vinegar salad dressing will keep for well over a week in the fridge. You just need to remember to let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes before you use them as the oil can solidify.
Hints and tips
- Choose a jar with a wide neck and a lid that screws on securely to shake the dressing. Use a funnel to transfer to a storage jar or bottle.
- Serve at room temperature. The olive oil will thicken and even start to solidify when chilled.
- If you buy a balsamic vinegar that proves disappointing, add up to a tablespoon of runny honey to compensate.
