How To Make Balsamic Vinaigrette

Making your own balsamic vinaigrette is a lot easier than it might seem and the best part is that you’re in control of the flavour. Adjust it to your preferences or what your family likes best. It can be as simple or as complicated as you’d like. A simple combination might include only olive oil and balsamic vinegar with salt and pepper. If you prefer to enhance your version optional ingredients include Dijon mustard, shallots, garlic and honey.
