Balsamic Vinaigrette

By fani

"This is a tangy vinaigrette--wonderful on mixed greens, tomato, onion and cucumber salads. It's also good if used sparingly over steamed veggies or stir-frys. Sometimes I use traditional balsamic vinegar. However, this will produce a slightly sweeter vinaigrette."

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 1 clove crushed garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard

Step 1
