I was making Recipe#371832 and it called bottled Balsamic dressing. I prefer to make my own dressings whenever possible. This recipe fit the bill perfectly! There are numerous recipes for Balsamic Vinaigrette; some sweet and some not. Because the salad recipe called to add sugar, I chose to use a dressing recipe with no sweetner in it. It worked out wonderfully! This is one of those recipes that I will use over and over!!! Thanks for sharing!

I have the same recipe with a clove of crushed garlic and 1 Tbsp. chopped parsley. Thanks for posting!

Loved it! Had to use the Country Dijon, since I was out of the creamy kind and I also added a glove of minced/pressed garlic. Reminds my oldest son and I of our favorite balsamic vinaigrette at our favorite steak house!

Simple vinaigrettes are probably the best dressings for leafy salads. This one was simple and good. I did add two minced garlic cloves though. I think all vinaigrettes need some fresh garlic in it. Thanks SF Girl

Really simple and delicious! I added a pinch of sugar (otherwise too acidic for me) and a pinch of dried basil. Thanks!
