How to Make Balsamic Lime Vinaigrette

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon agave nectar, and the juice of 1 lime until the agave is fully dissolved.
  2. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth emulsion.
  3. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust to your preferred level of sweetness and tanginess.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
