Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette

Healthy Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipe

This healthy balsamic vinaigrette is one of those little recipes that makes eating salads during the week so much easier. It takes about five minutes to make with pantry ingredients, has that tangy, slightly sweet balsamic flavor, and works on much more than salad.

Storage tips
Store the Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing in an airtight container for one week in the fridge. The dressing will separate and solidify, give it a few shakes and then continue using. You might need to let the dressing sit on the counter for a few minutes to liquefy before using. Or I'll run the jar under warm water and then shake the dressing
