Balsamic Vinaigrette
This incredibly easy to make salad dressing is deliciously tangy, nicely balanced with sweetness, and has a complex, rich flavor. It's the perfect compliment to a simple green salad.

Servings: 6
Ready in: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
2/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar*
1 1/2 Tbsp honey**
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp minced garlic, or 1.5 Tbsp minced shallot
1/4 tsp (heaping) salt, then more to taste
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
1. Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl, or pour into a jar (cover with lid) and shake.
2. Preferrably chill for 1 hour before using. Whisk well before serving or shake well in jar again.

Notes:
*Every brand of balsamic vinegar has a different level of tartness. I recommend tasting it first, if it's quite tart you can reduce to 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar.
**The amount of honey can be adjusted based on how sweet you'd like dressing to be.
Makes about 1 cup + 2 Tbsp dressing.
