Balsamic Vinaigrette
Description
This Balsamic Vinaigrette recipe mixes olive oil and balsamic vinegar as the base, providing a rich and slightly tangy flavor. Honey adds a mild sweetness that tempers the acidity of the vinegar, and Dijon mustard acts as an emulsifier, blending the oil and vinegar into a stable dressing. Freshly minced garlic brings pungency and depth, while kosher salt and freshly ground pepper season the blend for balanced taste.
The ingredients are whisked together until fully combined, creating a smooth, pourable dressing that can be used immediately or stored. The vinaigrette's flavor profile is versatile enough for green salads, roasted vegetables, or as a marinade.
The recipe notes that the typical serving size is about 2 tablespoons, aligning with common dressing portions for salads.

Notes
