Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Honey
Shallot
Garlic clove
Dijon mustard
Salt
Pepper

This salad dressing calls for a shallot, but if you don’t have one just use about 2 tablespoons of chopped onion.

What kind of balsamic vinegar should I use?

I used honey balsamic vinegar in this salad dressing, but of course, you can use regular balsamic vinegar. The most important thing is to use a high-quality balsamic vinegar.

Since balsamic vinegar is the star of the show in balsamic vinaigrette dressing, you will really taste it and the quality will come through.
