This balsamic dressing recipe is so simple and quick to make, and it’s a staple condiment that you’ll want to use throughout the week. This balsamic dressing tastes wonderful on a simple green salad, or use it as a marinade for chicken breast or salmon.

My absolute favourite dressing for salad is a tart and flavourful balsamic vinaigrette. When I realized how easy it was to make, I knew I’d never go back to store-bought balsamic dressing again! My version is tart and a little spicy with no added sugar or sweetener. It tastes delicious on sweet potato toast or drizzled on a green salad.

Ingredients

extra virgin olive oil
balsamic vinegar
salt & peper
granulated onion
granulated garlic
mustard powder

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Combine all of the ingredients into a mason jar.

Place the lid on the jar and shake the jar until the dressing has fully emulsified.

Hint: you can double or triple this recipe to make dressing for a crowd, or enough dressing to last the entire week!

Equipment

I like to use a simple lidded mason jar (or upcycled jam jar) to shake & make my sauces and dressings. You can also use a food processor instead.

Storage

This dressing doesn’t have to be refrigerated and can last up to 7 days.

Top tip

Make sure to shake your balsamic dressing well so that the ingredients emulsify (or the oil and vinegar completely combines). The dressing should look smooth!
