Instructions

Add all of the ingredients except the oil to a blender or food processor and pulse to combine.
Add the oil and blend until smooth and emulsified. Taste the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Notes

One serving of dressing equals 2 tablespoons.
Balsamic vinaigrette can also be made by hand whisking, or combining the ingredients in a covered mason jar and shaking aggressively, however, the texture may appear different than the photos. We do recommend using a blender for the creamiest texture.
Balsamic vinaigrette can be saved in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Scale the honey up or down depending on how sweet you like your dressing.
