Perfectly-Thick Balsamic Dressing

·

The perfectly-thick balsamic dressing you love at restaurants! I can’t be the only one who asks for extra balsamic at lunch, right? This dressing is totally reminiscent of those large salads you get at lunch places. They serve a ramekin of thick balsamic dressing that’s acidic yet sweet, and you pour all of it on your salad. And then you ask for more. 


But now you can have that at home! The thick texture ensures you can either mix it into your greens or dip each piece of lettuce into it and enjoy the perfect balsamic bite. And what’s the secret? More mustard than oil = thick dressing!


The necessary tool for this recipe is a blender, which helps you achieve that thickness. Feel free to whisk, instead, but be sure to mince that garlic super fine. Leave a comment below if you try it, and enjoy!
