Simple Balsamic VinaigretteIngredients 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 4 teaspoons dark brown sugar, optional* 2 tablespoons chopped garlic 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 1/4 cups olive oil Mesclun salad mix or favorite greens, for accompaniment Assortment of salad ingredients, such as cherry tomatoes, chopped carrots, sliced red onion, chopped celery, diced cucumbers, walnuts Blue cheese, for garnish Directions Beat the vinegar in a bowl with the optional sugar, garlic, salt and pepper until sugar and salt dissolve. Then beat in the oil by droplets, whisking constantly. (Or place all the ingredients in a screw-top jar and shake to combine.) Taste and adjust the seasonings. Toss a few tablespoons of the dressing with the salad mix and desired salad ingredients, top with blue cheese and serve immediately. If not using dressing right away, cover and refrigerate, whisking or shaking again before use. *If using a good quality balsamic vinegar you should not need the sugar, but if using a lesser quality you might want the sugar to round out the dressing.
