Balsamic Vinaigrette

This balsamic vinaigrette is a staple in our house.

I have to admit, I’m not a huge fan of balsamic dressing. So, I called in reinforcements and asked my friend Melanie, aka resident balsamic dressing aficionado to come over and taste test so my version would be be up to snuff.

We settled on a mild version of this classic favorite. For those of you balsamic beaters, you can always kick up the acid a notch until you find your perfect blend.

Thanks Melly!

Great. I like it on the sweet side, added a little baldamic glaze.
