Best Vinaigrette Recipe (Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing & More)

My go-to best homemade Vinaigrette dressing is tangy, slightly sweet, and full of zippy fresh flavors, perfect for about any type of salad. I’ll share my basic balsamic vinaigrette recipe, plus many essential varieties like lemon, raspberry, red wine, apple cider vinaigrette.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic 
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl.
  2. Slowly add extra virgin olive oil, whisking continuously for 30-60 seconds to create an emulsion.
  3. Taste and add more salt and pepper as desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • It lasts for several months in the refrigerator. The oil and vinegar will separate during storage, so you’ll need to give the jar a nice shake to get everything mixed together again before using.
  • Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best results.
  • You can mix all the ingredients by hand with a regular whisk. But if you prefer a thicker consistency, you can use a blender.
