Balsamic Vinaigrette

view all recipes


When I first started learning to cook, I still remember the “aha” moment of realizing I could make salad dressing at home. That simple homemade balsamic vinaigrette tasted fresher and more vibrant than anything I’d ever bought bottled, and it took me less than five minutes to make.

Now this 4-ingredient recipe has become my absolute go-to dressing. I’ve spent over a decade perfecting this recipe, and it’s one that our friends and family constantly request! It transforms everything from strawberry salad to roasted vegetables to grain bowls throughout the week!
