Oregano Balsamic Vinaigrette Food

SIMPLY SWEET BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE DRESSING

Steps:

• Mince the garlic with a garlic press or a high-quality chef's knife.
• Measure all the other ingredients and add everything to your blender or food processor. With variable speed units, start with a low speed and then gradually increase it to a higher speed until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
• If you don't have a blender or a food processor, simply add all the ingredients to a jar with a twist off lid or even a bowl and just shake or whisk until everything's well-mixed.
• Use the dressing on a salad or as a marinade for other dishes. Transfer any leftover dressing to an airtight sealed container and store it in the fridge for up to 10 days.

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.
