Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette
Description
Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette combines the bright acidity of balsamic vinegar with the richness of extra virgin olive oil and the creaminess of yogurt. Dijon mustard emulsifies the dressing, and honey balances the slight bitterness of the vinegar. Garlic powder provides a mild savory note without overpowering. The ingredients are whisked together until smooth, creating a creamy, tangy dressing that clings well to greens and vegetables.
The texture and flavor balance make it a convenient choice for enhancing salads or chilled dishes. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days, requiring a quick whisk or blend before serving to reincorporate any separation that occurs.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup yogurt I use full fat, plain, Greek
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Whisk: Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl until fully combined and creamy. You can also blend everything together in a blender or with an immersion blender.
- Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. If any separation occurs during storage, simply whisk or blend for a few seconds before serving.
Notes
- Fresh garlic (minced) can be used in place of garlic powder for a more pronounced garlic flavor.
- Store the vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
- If separation occurs during storage, whisk or blend before use to restore creamy texture.
