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.
