Basic White Balsamic Vinaigrette
This is my easy, weeknight (and weekend) vinaigrette that I make all the time, all year round. It’s so easy to make — it only takes about 3 minutes — and you can make 2 or 3 X the recipe to keep in the fridge for the week. Some nights, even making a 3-minute dressing is just too daunting, right?
Basic White Balsamic Vinaigrette
1 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar (Trader Joe’s brand is the best!)
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
pinch of Maldon sea salt flakes
pinch of fresh ground pepper
pinch of marjoram and/or dill
In a small glass dish, add balsamic vinegar, then slowly whisk in the extra virgin olive oil until combined. Finish with salt, pepper and herbs. Add vinaigrette into your greens in a salad bowl, tossing to see how much you need. Taste a leaf. If your salad has no taste, it just needs another pinch of salt and that will bring out all of the flavors.
To make a green salad special (I usually favor Butter / Bibb or baby lettuces), I often add toasted nuts and a sweet fruit like pears, persimmons, or apples. I also like the combination of scallions and avocado.
