Balsamic Vinaigrette-Easy To Make Vegan Dressing
This recipe for Balsamic Vinaigrette, featuring the finest balsamic vinegars, is nothing short of ideal. Yes, you heard right. Superb. I don’t throw that word around carelessly. That’s an apt description of the recipe I’m providing to you today. Do you believe I would name something “perfect” if I didn’t really mean it? Over the last few years, I’ve tried a number of balsamic vinaigrette recipes, and while they were OK, they weren’t quite what I was looking for. Some homemade vinaigrettes were a little too fatty for my liking, and some were a little too sweet.
The zest and sweetness, vinegar, and oil in this dressing are all in perfect proportion. Everyone who sampled the dressing asked for the recipe right away. It’s far superior to any store-bought salad dressing, and it’s as simple as mixing a few things together. I really like the consistency of the dressing when it’s combined by hand, but you can try both methods to see which you prefer.
Vegan Globetrotter Storing Tips
Because vinegar-based salad dressings have such a high acidity level, they can be preserved for a long time if properly stored. You can completely wash and repurpose a leftover bottle of store-bought salad dressing as a vehicle for your homemade dressing. The dressing should be stored in the refrigerator for several months.
