Basic Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipe Recipe

This is your basic Balsamic Vinaigrette recipe. Versions of this can be found in most cookbooks. This one includes a tablespoon of demerara sugar. However, if you use good, aged Balsamic, that should be sweet enough - no added sugar needed. If you use balsamic from the grocery store, or if you substitute a traditional champagne or white wine vinegar, you will need to add the sugar.

Directions:
1.Measure all ingredients into a glass jar or small bowl. Shake to combine or whisk together.

Yield: Makes about 1-1/2 cups.
