BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE



Balsamic Vinaigrette image

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:

  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A good balsamic vinegar will have a rich, complex flavor that will add depth to your dressing. Look for a vinegar that is at least 10 years old and has a thick, syrupy consistency.
  • Use fresh tarragon. Fresh tarragon has a delicate, slightly peppery flavor that is perfect for this dressing. If you can't find fresh tarragon, you can substitute dried tarragon, but use only half the amount.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store it in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container.
  • Taste the dressing before serving. Adjust the seasonings to taste. You may want to add more balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, or salt and pepper.
  • Use the dressing on salads, roasted vegetables, or grilled meat. This dressing is also great for marinating chicken or fish.

Conclusion:

Balsamic vinaigrette with fresh tarragon is a versatile and flavorful dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy dressing, give balsamic vinaigrette with fresh tarragon a try.
