How to Make Balsamic Salad Dressing
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients until well combined.
- With the blender running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil until a smooth emulsion forms.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
