Balsamic Vinaigrette

Hey guys! This next recipe is one of my FAVORITES! Literally, I put this vinaigrette on almost every salad I make at home now. It’s that good. The best part? It only has a few ingredients and is super quick to make!

To make this vinaigrette, it will make your lives a million times easier if you have an immersion blender. If you don’t know what that is, it’s that tall, skinny hand blender. If you don’t have one, you can use a regular blender, or if you feel like a work out, do it all by hand with a whisk! Don’t really recommend the last way though…

Shall we get started?

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• few dashes of salt and pepper
• 1/2 cup olive oil

Recipe

1. Combine all ingredients except for the olive oil and blend until it is a smooth consistency.
2. Once smooth, keep the blender running and very slowly drizzle the olive oil in a thin stream.
3. Keep blending until the olive oil is fully combined and the consistency is thicker.
4. Drizzle or pour over salad and enjoy!
