I don’t know about you, but I stopped buying salad dressing
years ago. I love making my own because it gives me the control over the
ingredients, I can make it as often as I like so it’s always fresh, and during
this time of the year, when fresh fruits and vegetables are plentiful, I am
enjoying a lot of salads. If you like balsamic vinaigrette as much as I do, I
think you will find this recipe to be one of the best.
The BEST Balsamic Vinaigrette
½ c. olive oil
¼ c. Balsamic vinegar
1 t. sugar
1 t. Dijon mustard
1 t. fresh orange juice (trust me)
1 small Melissa’s shallot, minced
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/8 - ¼ t. kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Place all ingredients into a ninja blender,
or other high speed blender, and blend
until emulsified, 20 - 30 seconds. Store in the refrigerator for up to one
week. Gets better with age.
