How to Make Honey Balsamic Dressing
To make this dressing, all you need is a handful of ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and a blender. If you don’t have a blender, you can simply mince the garlic and shallot finely and use a whisk to stir the dressing together, but I find a blender works to get the dressing a little thicker, since we’re not using as much oil.
Paired with fresh shallot and enzyme-rich honey, I think this dressing is just as good as any restaurant’s version. I hope you’ll enjoy it just as much!
Recipe Notes:
I find the flavor is best when I use a balsamic vinegar that has been aged at least 3 years. If you use a cheaper balsamic vinegar, add a little more honey to balance the flavor, since cheaper vinegar is more pungent and acidic in flavor. To make this recipe vegan, you could use maple syrup instead of honey to taste, or even try using dates as a natural sweetener if you have a really good blender.
