BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
This is a tangy vinaigrette--wonderful on mixed greens, tomato, onion and cucumber salads. It's also good if used sparingly over steamed veggies or stir-frys. Sometimes I use traditional balsamic vinegar. However, this will produce a slightly sweeter vinaigrette.

Tips:
- Fresh is best: Always use fresh herbs for the most flavorful vinaigrette. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
- Use a good quality vinegar: The type of vinegar you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your vinaigrette. For a classic vinaigrette, use a good quality balsamic vinegar. You can also experiment with other types of vinegar, such as white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or rice vinegar.
- Choose the right oil: The type of oil you use will also affect the flavor of your vinaigrette. For a light and flavorful vinaigrette, use a light olive oil or grapeseed oil. For a richer vinaigrette, use a heavier oil, such as walnut oil or avocado oil.
- Emulsify the vinaigrette: To make a smooth and creamy vinaigrette, you need to emulsify it. This means whisking the ingredients together until they are well combined and slightly thickened. You can also use a blender or food processor to emulsify the vinaigrette.
- Season to taste: Once you've emulsified the vinaigrette, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Conclusion:
A balsamic vinaigrette with fresh herbs is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and meats. It's also a great way to add a pop of flavor to your favorite dishes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and healthy vinaigrette that will enhance the flavor of your meals. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dressing, give this balsamic vinaigrette with fresh herbs a try. You won't be disappointed!
