Simple Balsamic Vinaigrette Food

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 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.
