Balsamic Vinaigrette: A Versatile Dressing

This is our households go-to salad dressing. It pairs perfectly with a Fall-inspired Chicken Walnut Salad with Gorgonzola, Red Onion and Dried Cranberries or as a simple marinade for beef or chicken.

Ingredients:
1 cup EVOO

1 cup Balsamic vinegar 

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

1 Tbsp Non-parteil capers

1 small Garlic clove minced (or 1 Tbsp dried minced garlic)

Salt and pepper to taste 

Variations: Add a Tbsp of honey for sweeter dressing.

Directions:

Use a magic bullet or Vitamix to blend the ingredients for about 30 seconds or until dressing is smooth.

Note:

This is a very concentrated dressing and a little goes a long way. For a large salad, I would use approximately 2 Tbsp of dressing.
