Homemade balsamic vinaigrette is a staple recipe in our house. We like vinegary dressings and use twice as much olive oil as vinegar. To make a less vinegary dressing, add more olive oil to taste. I like to add a little sweetener to the dressing. Maple syrup or honey is lovely, or add a little fruitiness with your favorite jam (strawberry jam is especially good). If you are using a thicker balsamic vinegar or one that is aged, it may already taste more sweet, so you may not need to add sweetener.
Ingredient:
- 1/4 cup (60ml) balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup, honey, or strawberry jam
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup (120ml) extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, sour cream, or crème fraîche, optional to make creamy
