Organic Bold Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipe |

I recently decided to start making my own salad dressing. I eat a salad every day, and I got tired of spending money on salad dressing. I was also tired of seeing that all of my favorite salad dressings, though labeled organic, weren’t really healthy for me. Sugar and soybean oil are two things I don’t want in may salads, organic or not.
My favorite salad dressing is balsamic vinaigrette. I decided to try making my own, and after some trial and error, I came up with a recipe that I absolutely love. The recipe is for a few cups of salad dressing — so is you need less just reduce the ratios. Also, this salad dressing has a bit of a bite — which I love. But if it’s too strong for you, just adjust the garlic and Dijon mustard. But I think you’ll like it. And it compliments most any salad, and is also a great marinade. It’s very versatile.
Bold Balsamic Vinaigrette
All ingredients should be organic
* 2 cups olive oil
* 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
* 2 fresh crushed cloves garlic
* 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
* 2 teaspoons black pepper
* 1 teaspoon Celtic salt
* 2 teaspoons turmeric
Just mix it altogether and shake well. I use a used, glass olive oil bottle.
