What Makes This Recipe So Good
Making your own balsamic vinaigrette is so easy, and this simple 4-ingredient recipe gives you the absolute BEST balsamic vinaigrette ever. It’s tangy and perfectly sweet, thanks to a touch of maple syrup. You don’t need any fancy equipment – just a bowl and a whisk. If you’ve got leftover dressing, keep it in a mason jar. Easy!Did I mention there’s only 4 ingredients in this recipe? I don’t know if you’ve ever looked at the label on store-bought balsamic vinaigrette but they typically contain considerably more than 4 ingredients.This is super easy to scale up for more servings. Great if you’re a big salad eater or you’re just making lunch for a big group.
Chef’s Tips
Leftover balsamic vinaigrette will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 weeks as long as you store it in an airtight container. You may notice the oil solidifies when the dressing’s cold. Just let it set out and come to room temperature before serving or pop it in the microwave for 3-5 seconds. Whisk it well and it’ll reincorporate with no problem.If you’re looking for a dressing that’s more on the savory side, use less maple syrup or just skip it altogether.For a thicker vinaigrette, blend everything together in the blender instead of whisking it. I prefer mine on the thinner side, but you do you!
