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.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
