  1. My favorite dressing to make! Great taste. I usually mix with baby greens, pecans and goat cheese. AWESOME!
     
  2. Simple vinaigrette - followed the recipe. Really, very good. I'm going to serve it over spinach salad with strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Sometimes the simple things are the best things.
     
  3. Excellent basic balsamic vinaigrette. I made the recipe exactly as stated, but my virgin olive oil was slightly too "intense" in flavour, and I whisked in a little water (maybe 3 tablespoons). I have wonderful garlic chives which I used in the photo, but didn't want to add it to the dressing, as that would mean the dressing might not keep well, and there's quite a lot left for the two of us. The garlic chives was snipped and used on our greens-tomatoes-sweet-onion salad. The vinaigrette thickened beautifully with whisking. Thanks!!
     
  4. Delicious and easy. I made it exactly as described, but without chives since I didn't have any on hand. I served it on a warm goat cheese salad with sauteed pears and spiced pecans. TDF
     
  5. Love this recipe. Out of all the times I've made it, I have never once measured anything exactly. It still turns out really great and everyone wants the recipe.

Tweaks

  1. Great dressing, used honey instead of the brown sugar.
     
  2. I used this recipe as inspiration but changed the quantities pretty significantly. I use closer to a 2:1 ratio of oil to vinegar. If you use a good quality balsamic, it is not too sharp this way. I also use dried basil and oregano instead of chives. The addition of mustard and brown sugar is what makes this recipe special. Thanks for posting!
