Sheila's Best Balsamic Dressing

Mrs Goodall's Note:

This is the best dressing ever. My mom got the recipe somewhere, and then adjusted it a bit, so she gets credit for it. Quick and delicious. The better quality the vinegars the better the dressing. I like to use a latte frother to mix the dressing. If you use the garlic make sure it is very fresh or it gets a little bitter in the dressing, it is optional. Enjoy!!

Wow! This is really good, restaurant quality dressing. The proportion of vinegar and oil is just right and I think the mustard adds a nice tang. I mixed it up in my magic bullet, which made it kind of creamy. Used it on a tomato salad with fresh basil and parmesan cheese. Thanks for posting!

I used Canola Oil because I did not have Olive Oil. I substituted Red Wine Vinegar for Apple Cider Vinegar. I only had White Sugar, so I used that instead of Brown Sugar. I used Horse Radish instead of Mustard for more of a bite. I did not have Garlic so I added equal amounts of Ginger Root instead. I can only give this recipe one star because my husband said this was a terrible recipe. But it was fun making it.
