Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil extra virgin
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup or honey
  • Pinch of salt optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add ingredients to a 16-ounce mason jar and shake until well combined. Alternatively, you can add the ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend for 20-30 seconds, or until smooth.  
  2. Use immediately or store balsamic vinaigrette dressing in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks between servings. Bring to room temperature and shake well before using.

Notes

  • Each serving is roughly 2 tablespoons of salad dressing.
  • Recipe Tips
  • Use high-end. Better quality ingredients will result in the tastiest balsamic salad dressing.
  • Go low-carb. Substitute liquid stevia extract for honey, maple syrup, or agave. 
  • Blend on high. Using a food processor or blender will make a smoother dressing than simply a good shake with hand mixing.
  • Add flavor. Toss in some fresh herbs, garlic, pepper, or lemon juice. 
  • Do more than salad. Marinate chicken, or drizzle over grilled steak or veggies with this balsamic dressing recipe.
