Notes

Ingredients

Mayonnaise – Your favourite – ideally something fairly basic that doesn’t taste too strong, think of the mayonnaise as the canvas for the other flavours, providing the base and the creamy texture.
Greek Yoghurt – Or any plain natural yoghurt that is fairly thick – this will lighten the mayonnaise and add a little tang
Balsamic vinegar – this is the most important ingredient – you want a reasonable vinegar – something from the mid to upper end of what is available in the regular supermarket. A good balsamic will taste sweet but still have some sharpness, but isn’t overly sharp. A good rule of thumb is when you shake the bottle it will take 5 seconds or so to run down the inside.

Storage

Fridge – Keep your creamy balsamic dressing in a jar in the fridge but take it out half an hour before serving to come up to room temperature. Keeps well for one week.

Hints and tips

Use good, but not premium, balsamic vinegar.
You can adjust the flavour to your liking by changing the mayonnaise and/or the yoghurt.
