Equipment
- jar with lid
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons oil avocado or olive
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Add everything to a lidded jar or large bowl, and shake the jar or whisk all the ingredients together until well-combined. The thicker the balsamic you use, the thicker your honey balsamic dressing, but remember to use balsamic vinegar NOT balsamic glaze (which is thickened & sweetened).
Notes
No Lid: if you don’t have a lid for your jar, try a small plate or a tea plate to top it off and shake well.
Batching: this honey balsamic recipe makes about ½ cup of dressing, plenty for about 4 lunch-sized salads, ut you can easily make a double match by doubling the ingredients in the recipe card and using a larger jar.
Salad Pairing: honey balsamic salad dressing pairs classically with arugula (rocket) and shaved parmesan, but I love making a base salad of mixed lettuces or baby kale topped with crispy bacon, chopped apple, dried cranerries, and sliced almonds. Another pairing is spinach with sliced strawberries and goat cheese, or even iceberg lettuce with cherry tomato halves.
