Ingredients

  • 1/4 large garlic clove finely minced
  • 1/4 tablespoon smooth and tangy Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly crushed black pepper
  • 1/16 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly if using a bowl, or tightly seal the jar and shake vigorously until well combined. This emulsifies the vinaigrette.
  • Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the flavors as needed. You can add more honey for sweetness, vinegar for tanginess, or salt and pepper for seasoning.
  • Use immediately as a dressing for salads or dishes of your choice.
  • Alternatively, store the Sweetgreen Balsamic Vinaigrette in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Remember to shake or whisk again before using.
  • Use this flavorful vinaigrette to enhance the taste of your salads or favorite dishes, adding a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess.

Notes

  • Opt for high-quality aged balsamic vinegar, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, and fresh garlic to enhance the flavor of your dressing.
  • Allow the dressing to rest for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • If you prefer a thicker dressing, reduce the amount of olive oil slightly. Conversely, if you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of water or more olive oil.
  • Prepare a larger quantity of the vinaigrette and store it in the refrigerator for future use. This will save you time when you need a quick and delicious dressing for your salad.
  • As the vinaigrette sits, the ingredients may settle. Give it a good shake before dressing your salad to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
