This creamy balsamic vinaigrette is perfect for salads, roasted vegetables, or as a marinade for chicken or steak. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• ½ cup balsamic vinegar

• ¼ cup mayonnaise (for creaminess)

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

• 1 garlic clove, minced or grated

• 1 tablespoon honey

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• ¾ cup olive oil

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine oil, balsamic vinegar, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper. With an immersion blender, blend until the dressing is a creamy texture.

   If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add a teaspoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

2. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or sweetener if needed.

3. Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or whisk before serving, as it may separate over time.
