See? I told you, I started eating salads because of homemade vinaigrette. This Balsamic Vinaigrette is another favorite of mine.

I couldn’t believe that I would enjoy salad and would have a craving for it. I was not used to eating salads, so it never occurred to me that I would love it. I think the reason would be the lack of taste of the salad dressings I tried before, or maybe because of the greens??

When I wanted to add salad to my meals, I would always go for lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers, with lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Sometimes, I would add canned tuna or boiled eggs for protein.

Now, my salad leveled up a bit with the help of homemade vinaigrettes.

I already made Balsamic Vinaigrette several times and it’s always a hit. In my current salads, I always include mix lettuce leaves, tomatoes, kernel corn and fried chicken. It’s just perfect for me.

HOW TO MAKE BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE?

Making a vinaigrette is easy peasy! Just mix all ingredients in a sterilized jar and shake until well incorporated.

NOTES:

It will stay amazing up to 10 days in the fridge if using a sterilized jar to store the vinaigrette.
The longer the vinaigrette sits, the garlic taste will be stronger.
I use a sterilized jar to store the salad dressing.
