Recipe Tips

Use high-end. Better quality ingredients will result in the tastiest balsamic salad dressing.
Go low-carb. Substitute liquid stevia extract for honey, maple syrup, or agave.
Blend on high. Using a food processor or blender will make a smoother dressing than simply a good shake with hand mixing.
Add flavor. Toss in some fresh herbs, garlic, pepper, or lemon juice.
Do more than salad. Marinate chicken, or drizzle over grilled steak or veggies with this balsamic dressing recipe.
