Description

White balsamic vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile healthy homemade salad dressing. It’s made with pantry staples including extra virgin olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard, and will take you 5 minutes or less to prepare! Keep a batch in the fridge to dress up salads, roasted vegetables, or as a marinade for proteins.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp tahini
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp shallot, minced


Instructions

  1. Combine all the vinaigrette ingredients in a small mixing bowl.

  2. Use a small whisk or fork to vigorously whisk the vinaigrette in a side-to-side zig-zag motion. Continue whisking until dressing is emulsified (when the oil and vinegar are cohesive and not separating from each other).

Notes

Storing homemade vinaigrette

Since homemade salad dressing does not contain preservatives, you should use it within 2 weeks of preparing.

Store white balsamic vinaigrette in a glass jar in the fridge. Since it is made with olive oil, it might harden up a bit when cold. If this happens, run warm water over the jar, or let the jar sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before using.
