Notes
- Adjust ingredient quantities to suit your taste preferences, especially sweetness and acidity.
- Allow the dressing to rest at least 30 minutes, preferably longer, to let flavors blend and mellow.
- Use quality balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard as few ingredients emphasize their flavors.
- A small amount suffices since this oil-free vinaigrette is more concentrated than typical oil-based dressings.
