Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) balsamic vinegar
- ⅔ cup (160 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey
Instructions
- Measure ⅓ cup (80 ml) balsamic vinegar, ⅔ cup (160 ml) extra virgin olive oil, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey.
- In a bowl or jar, whisk or stir together the balsamic vinegar and honey until the honey dissolves completely (about 1-2 minutes).
- Slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing. If using a jar, add the oil, seal tightly, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
- Taste and adjust by adding more honey if too sharp or more vinegar if too sweet.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to one week. Shake or whisk again before serving.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for better emulsification. Shake or whisk well before each use as separation is natural. Store in the fridge up to 7 days. Optionally add a pinch of salt or herbs for variation.
