I know I am not alone in resolving to eat more greens in the new year! And while we should be eating more salads in general, there is no time like after all the holiday sweets and spirits to inspire us to have more veggies! I absolutely love this quick and easy balsamic salad dressing. It takes just minutes to make, keeps well in the fridge and is much healthier than typical store-bought dressings! Also makes a fabulous marinade for poultry or roasted vegetables. Check it out and see if it inspires you to make more salads!
1 tablespoon grainy dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix all ingredient well, except olive oil
- Gradually add oil while whisking with small whisk or fork
- Pour into a glass jar and keep refrigerated
- Shake bottle before use
Makes approximately 1 cup of dressing. If dressing solidifies a little in the fridge, leave at room temperature for a bit before use, or run the bottle under warm water
Enjoy!
