Teresa's Balsamic Vinegrette

Submitted by Contributor on Mon, 04/02/2001 - 11:52

I make this dressing a lot. It's from a recipe in the Gusto! Summer June 1996 issue page 31 (That's the Globe and Mail's food magazine.) The original recipe is for an arugula/tomato/asiago salad. The salad is great but it's hard to find arugula!

Ingredients: 1/4 C (50mL) balsamic vinegar 1/4 C (50mL) extra virgin olive oil 1 t (5mL) Dijon mustard 1 T (15mL) sugar pepper to taste

Directions: 1. Combine all ingredients. Pour over salad. Toss.

The original recipe called for sherry vinegar instead of balsamic vinegar. I have also made it with a spicy oil which gives it extra kick.

This makes enough for a salad for 8 people. For 2 people, I use: 1 T olive oil 1 T balsamic vinegar 1/4 t Dijon 1/2 t sugar black pepper
