Below are two recipes, one with fresh herbs and one with dried. I have yet to find someone who doesn’t love this vinaigrette. Perfect over salads, as pizza base, to dip roasted veggie. Key is buy a good quality balsamic vinegar so don’t be shy to splurge a little.
Herbed Balsamic Vinaigrette with Fresh Herbs
1 cup Balsamic Vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon fresh parsley — chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme — chopped – also can use orange thyme
1 tablespoon fresh basil — chopped
1 teaspoon salt and pepper, each
2 cups Roasted Garlic Olive Oil
Directions: Add first 7 ingredients into blender, and mix. While mixer is running drizzle in olive oil.
Herbed Balsamic Vinaigrette with Dried Herbs
1 cup Balsamic Vinegar
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon salt and pepper, each
2 cups Roasted Garlic Olive Oil
Directions: Add Vinegar and dried herbs and spices into jar, mix in olive oil and shake vigorously.
