Honey Balsamic Dressing Recipe

Every dinner deserves a great salad, and every salad deserves an epic dressing!  Once you try this Best Honey Balsamic Dressing Recipe, you’ll never go back to bottled vinaigrette dressing from the store again!

Seriously… you won’t believe how EASY it is to make your own gourmet restaurant-style salad dressing at home! Just toss the ingredients in a mason jar, shake, and pour over some cool, crisp greens!

This homemade balsamic dressing is sweet and savory with the perfect amount of tang.  And the best part is… just 5 Ingredients, and you’re done!  Just add the ingredients to a mason jar, shake, and serve!  Talk about EASY!

The key to this homemade vinaigrette dressing is using a high quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  That’s what really makes this Honey Balsamic Salad Dressing so amazing.  My favorites are Trader Joe’s Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Colavita Balsamic Vinegar of Modena {found at Walmart or your local grocery store}.

So if you’re looking for a way to add more fresh veggies and salads to your menu, then you really need to give this vinaigrette dressing a try!

Here’s what you’ll do…

    Oh I love a good salad dressing. Balsamic vinegar just goes so well in oil with honey and mustard doesn’t it? I love the sweet yet tart taste you get.
    Thanks for sharing your recipe!
