Description
There is no need to buy salad dressing at the grocery store once you learn how to make your own at home. This light and bright White Balsamic Vinaigrette goes on just about anything and is a perfect balance of sweet, tangy and savory. Make a big batch and use it as a dressing for a salad, drizzled onto a grain bowl or as a marinade for fish or tacos.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp. honey
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp. table salt
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1 small shallot, minced (about 3 Tbsp.)
Instructions
- Whisk together vinegar, mustard, honey, Italian seasoning and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. While continuing to whisk, slowly drizzle the oil into the bowl, through the whisk, until the oil is emulsified with the vinegar. Add shallots and stir. Use immediately or store in an airtight container or mason jar for up to 1 week.
Notes
- White balsamic is similar in flavor to regular balsamic, though it's lighter and less sweet.
- White balsamic is ideal to use when dressing a salad with ingredients that can discolor, like strawberries, apples or soft white cheeses.
- If your dressing breaks, try whisking in some mayonnaise or start a new emulsification with vinegar and mustard and slowly drizzle in the broken dressing.
- Serve leftover dressing drizzled on a grain bowl, a crostini or a savory fruit salad. Or use as a marinade for chicken, white fish or salmon.
