Best Balsamic Vinaigrette
The Very Best Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
One part vinegar to three parts oil, seasoned with salt, pepper and Dijon mustard (proportions of a teaspoonful of mustard for a half cup of dressing) are the classic proportions of vinaigrette dressing. Because the taste of balsamic vinegar can be very strong, or in cases of olive oil or a light vegetable oil, proportions recommended are one part vinegar to four or five of oil. You may also enjoy additional flavorings of herbs like chives and sage, finely chopped ginger root or shallot. It all depends on your taste preference and what the dressing will accompany, but some people find garlic is not good with the sweetness of vinegar.
