Preparation
Step 1
Simply measure out your ingredients in a clean jar or container and stir with a fork or a whisk. You can also add the lid and give the whole jar a vigorous shake. This dressing is unexpectedly amazing and goes with everything: steamed veggies, pasta salad, beans & rice, you name it. I’ve fallen in love with its bold flavors and simplicity….it will be featured in my next recipe too.
*It is somewhat important here to use a decent balsamic (but don’t go crazy). Some cheaper or more ‘sour’ vinegars can come off too harsh here. As with most things, the better quality vinegar is more expensive, but goes farther in the end and creates a much better experience all around. Mid-range is fine, just not cheap. Never cheap.
Raw vegetable salads are so beautiful when kept simple and color is key. My fave is mixing 2 or 3 contrasting greens with a few colored vegetables such as bell peppers & radishes (inspired by my girlfriend Janna) as I did here. Top with lightly toasted almonds or seeds and any salad gets instantly upped in appeal. Of course a ripe avocado wouldn’t hurt either.
