    How to make simple balsamic dressing

    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

    How to make simple balsamic dressing
    • 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!
