Balsamic vinegarette

Hear my heart:  When I started blogging a few months back, I really wanted to share my recipes with my girlfriends.  People always ask my for recipes, and I my goal has been to share more recipes.  I cook a lot.  I make pretty much everything from scratch, with very little processed ingredients.  This is how I cook for my family.  For me, cooking is easy and I enjoy it.  I pray my easy recipes will bless you and your family.

This one, is for my GF Aimee.  :)


You know what I NEVER buy?  Salad dressing.  It is one of the easiest things to make, and the bottled stuff is just gross.  Plus, who knows how long it has been sitting on the shelf?!  This is my basic vinegarette recipe.  I will preface with you need a good aged balsamic.  I keep some on hand as it is also fabulous with homemade bread and olive oil.  The Alessi 20-Year Balsamic Vinegar is my personal favorite.


Ingredients
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
