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.
