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.

SIMPLE BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Beat the vinegar in a bowl with the optional sugar, garlic, salt and pepper until sugar and salt dissolves. 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.

FILOMENA'S BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine the mustard, salt, pepper, sugar and vinegar in a medium bowl; use a hand mixer or immersion stick blender to whip the mixture. With the mixer or blender running, add the oil in a slow steady stream (the stream should be no thicker than a pencil, he says) until that gorgeous consistency you're after is achieved. Va bene!
