SHEILA'S BEST BALSAMIC DRESSING

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients EXCEPT oil together.
• Add oil to mixture and mix well with whisk or late frother.

PERFECT BALSAMIC DRESSING (AKA VINAIGRETTE)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a container with a tight-fitting lid (a mason jar works great).
• Shake vigorously for 30 seconds until emulsified. You can also emulsify your vinaigrette in a blender or food processor (work on low, increasing the speed as you stream in the oil last). I only use a blender when working in extra large quantities. Up to about a cup, shaking it like crazy in a mason jar works great (and there's way less clean up.)
• Alternatively, you can whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. To use this method, whisk all ingredients except the olive oil in a small bowl, then stream in the olive oil while you continue to whisk until the dressing has emulsified.

BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic, mustard, salt, pepper and garlic. Add the oil and whisk thoroughly to combine. Continue whisking until the dressing is fully emulsified.
• Store in a jar with a lid and refrigerate. Shake well before serving. Enjoy!

BALSAMIC VINEGAR DRESSING

Steps:

• Place ingredients in a jar and shake very well. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
• Keeps for 3 weeks on the counter (unless it is very hot where you are, store it in the fridge), assuming you use fresh olive oil. Do not keep for more than 4 weeks as high quality olive oil tends to lose flavour beyond 4 weeks after opening the bottle.

GRILLED ROMAINE WITH BALSAMIC DRESSING

Steps:

• For the balsamic dressing: In a blender, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Gorgonzola, basil, garlic, a pinch each of salt and pepper and 2 tablespoons water. Blend until the dressing is creamy and the garlic and basil are finely chopped.
• For the grilled romaine: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
• Lightly brush the cut sides of the romaine with the canola oil. Place the romaine on the grill cut-side down and cook until grill marks form and the leaves are slightly charred, 1 to 3 minutes. Arrange on a platter cut-side up.
• Drizzle the romaine with the dressing. Sprinkle with the Gorgonzola and torn basil and serve.
