To prepare this homemade vinaigrette, there are 3 tips to follow:

Tip #1:

The first tip is to use white balsamic vinegar.

This vinegar, made from white grapes, has the advantage of being sweet and mellow.

And I can reassure you right away: this vinegar isn’t too expensive. I recommend this 100% organic white balsamic vinegar.

Note: Most salad dressing recipes call for 2 parts oil to 1 part vinegar.

Personally, I prefer my vinaigrette with a stronger vinegar flavor, so I use equal parts oil and vinegar.

But if you prefer less vinegar, adjust the recipe to have a less pronounced taste.

Tip #2:

The second tip for making a delicious vinaigrette is to use fine Dijon mustard.

Mustard is a binder between the oil and vinegar (they don’t mix well if you don’t use a binder).

I always use classic Dijon mustard in my salad dressing, unless I can find a herb or spice mustard.

For example, tarragon mustard is a great variation for this vinaigrette recipe.

Also, feel free to add herbs and spices of your choice to enhance the taste of the vinaigrette.
