Balsamic Vinegar Recipe For Salad

BALSAMIC VINEGAR DRESSING

Steps:

• Place ingredients in a jar and shake very well. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
• Keeps for 3 weeks on the counter (unless it is very hot where you are, store it in the fridge), assuming you use fresh olive oil. Do not keep for more than 4 weeks as high quality olive oil tends to lose flavour beyond 4 weeks after opening the bottle.

PERFECT BALSAMIC DRESSING (AKA VINAIGRETTE)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a container with a tight-fitting lid (a mason jar works great).
• Shake vigorously for 30 seconds until emulsified. You can also emulsify your vinaigrette in a blender or food processor (work on low, increasing the speed as you stream in the oil last). I only use a blender when working in extra large quantities. Up to about a cup, shaking it like crazy in a mason jar works great (and there's way less clean up.)
• Alternatively, you can whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. To use this method, whisk all ingredients except the olive oil in a small bowl, then stream in the olive oil while you continue to whisk until the dressing has emulsified.

10-MINUTE TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a serving bowl, combine the tomatoes and the green onions.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients until they emulsify into a thick, velvety dressing. If the dressing seems too thick, add a teaspoon of water and mix it in.
• Pour the dressing on top of the vegetables and mix to combine.
• Let the salad rest for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving. This is not strictly mandatory, but it does help the flavors meld and improves the salad's flavor.

BALSAMIC VINEGAR POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until tender. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the onion, red peppers, olives, and artichokes to the bowl with the potatoes. In a separate bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, oregano, basil, mustard powder and parsley. Pour over the vegetables, and stir to coat. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

BALSAMIC TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Slice the tomatoes in half and, if using plum or larger tomatoes, core them to remove the seeds . Chop the tomatoes into chunks (whatever size you desire). If using grape, cherry, or another small tomato, cut in half so they will absorb the flavors of the dressing. There's no need to seed them.
• Place the chopped tomatoes in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs (if using). Toss well.
• Transfer to a serving dish and season with salt and pepper to taste. Or plate the salad individually for your guests and garnish with a sprig of fresh oregano or basil.
