Notes
- We recommend using a quality balsamic, one that has preferably originated in Italy and is nicely aged. You can typically find a nice a selection today in the vinegar section of most well-stocked supermarkets, or definitely at gourmet food markets.
- To fully emulsify the vinaigrette, we add the dressing to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake it vigorously for a couple of minutes. This gives the vinaigrette a creamy texture.
- The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up 1 to 2 weeks. You can freeze the dressing, but we think it's best when served fresh.
