Instructions
- For Balsamic Vinaigrette: Add all ingredients, except salt and pepper, into a clean mason jar. Screw on lid and ring and shake until all ingredients are well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Dressing will keep in refrigerator for a couple weeks.

You won’t need all of the Balsamic Vinaigrette for one serving. Save and refrigerate for future salads.
