How to Make Garlicky Balsamic Vinegar Dressing

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more honey for sweetness, balsamic vinegar for tang, or garlic for a stronger flavor.
  3. For salad dressing, pour desired amount over your favorite salad greens and toss gently.
  4. For marinade, place chicken breasts or pork tenderloin in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour dressing over meat, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  5. Grill, bake, or pan-fry the marinated meat until cooked through.
