Balsamic vinaigrette
Pull out the good balsamic vinegar and olive oil for these vinaigrettes. A touch of honey tames the acidity while Dijon mustard adds spark and emulsifies the oil and vinegar.
A splash of orange or a pinch of garlic also works wonders when it comes to concocting one of these memorable vinaigrettes.
