Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips
- Use country style Dijon mustard to add texture to your vinaigrette
- Add chopped fresh basil
Substitutions
- Make this salad dressing with 1 clove of fresh garlic, minced, in place of the garlic powder
- Substitute honey for the sugar
- Don't have white balsamic vinegar? No worries! For every 1 tablespoon of white balsamic vinegar you can substitute 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or cider vinegar plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar!
Storage
- A good rule of thumb is to store homemade salad dressings for about 1 week in the refrigerator.
- Since there are no preservatives or chemicals in your homemade salad dressing to preserve their shelf life, it is best to store your vinaigrette or creamy dressing in the refrigerator in a glass jar with a sealed lid.
- As always, I find it helpful to visit the FDA website for food storage guidelines
What can I substitute for white balsamic vinegar?
