If you’re a vinaigrette lover, this dressing with balsamic vinegar is calling for you! It’s an easy, homemade recipe that comes together in under 5 minutes, with no fancy tools needed. Rich balsamic vinegar meets tangy Dijon mustard, and gets mellowed by a touch of syrup, oil, garlic and onion. The result is a delicious salad dressing that’s as at home on mixed greens as it is drizzled over grain bowls or roasted veggies. Once you taste the sweet‑tangy harmony, you’ll never reach for store‑bought again!

Frequently asked questions

How long does homemade balsamic dressing last?

You can store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 4 days. Be sure to shake it well before each use!

What salads go best with it?

This balsamic vinaigrette shines on mixed greens or veggie salads that include juicy fruit: think mango, strawberries, or apple slices. The tartness of the vinegar paired with the sweetness of fresh fruit is simply unbeatable!

Why did my dressing recipe separate?

Don’t worry, separation is natural with oil‑and‑vinegar vinaigrettes! Just give it a good shake or whisk before serving to mix it back together.

My go-to salad dressing. I have it in the fridge almost all the time. This helps me eat salads more frequently. Keeps very long, too - 2 weeks no problem. I do use garlic powder instead of fresh, though.
