What’s in my pantry? Balsamic Vinegar

Filed under: What's in my pantry — Nicky @ 8:34 am

I absolutely love balsamic vinegar, I use it in lots of different things.  Balsamic vinegar is both tart and sweet.  When you roast with balsamic it gets thick and sweet.  I really enjoy balsamic vinaigrette.   It’s so easy to make and it goes great with all kinds of different types of greens, but especially romaine lettuce.  Balsamic vinegar is also great on roasted vegetables and in dips. 

Basic Balsamic Vinaigrette

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Whisk the balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, and honey.   Continue whisking while you stream in the olive oil.  Put salt and pepper in to taste.  Whisk until the dressing is emulsified.
