    White Balsamic Vinaigrette

    It's gone international! Our white balsamic dressing is, hands-down, my absolute favorite go-to homemade vinaigrette!

    And let me tell you, it is always a hit! So much so that I have already divulged my recipe to numerous family members and, yes, the recipe has now gone international and crossed the pond over to our relatives in Ireland!

    And so it's time to share this Swirls' favorite with you!

    Making a homemade vinaigrette couldn't be easier and more delicious.

    Why buy expensive store bought salad dressings which typically contain high amounts of sugar and numerous preservatives when you can make your own healthier, and guaranteed, fabulously delicious vinaigrette?

    Our balsamic salad dressing complements any salad and is especially fabulous on baby greens with pears, pecans and blue cheese!

    With just a few basic kitchen ingredients you can now make this easy salad dressing recipe in just minutes.

    Either whisk the ingredients together or, even easier, put all the ingredients in a mason jar, put the top on and shake, shake, shake! How easy is that?

    I make commissions for purchases made through links in this post.

    And even better, you can store your salad dressing in that same mason jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.

    It’s time to make your salad burst with homemade deliciousness!

    Be sure to visit the Swirls of Flavor Amazon Storefront for GG's personal kitchen recommendations!

    Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips

    • Use country style Dijon mustard to add texture to your vinaigrette
    • Add chopped fresh basil
    • 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!

    Substitutions

    • Make this salad dressing with 1 clove of fresh garlic, minced, in place of the garlic powder
    • Substitute honey for the 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?

    For every 1 tablespoon of white balsamic vinegar you can substitute 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar!
