Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipe 4. Slightly sweet, tangy balsamic vinaigrette is versatile as can be. As a dressing for salad, drizzled on roasted vegetables and chicken wraps, everyone loves this recipe. If you add garlic to your recipe, just smash the clove and let it sit in the vinaigrette for a few minutes to infuse flavor but not overpower it.
One smashed or minced garlic clove or one teaspoon minced shallot per one cup should do it. Also, aged balsamic contains a little sugar, so be mindful of how much you consume and skip any added sugar in your salad candied nuts, etc. Some naturally occurring sugar like the sugar in an apple is ok. Due to the highly acidic nature of balsamic vinegar, it stores easily in an airtight glass container for about 1 week in the refrigerator.
Pro Tip : I simply store the dressing in a mason jar with a lid in the refrigerator until I use it next. This delightful balsamic vinaigrette dressing is not limited to just one basic salad.
It can be used in various ways, from superfood salads to pasta to roasted veggies. Romaine salad with balsamic vinaigrette is a staple in my house. It provides a quick, healthy dose of greens and tastes delicious.

Apple cider vinegar ACV is full of health benefits and adds great depth to this recipe. It might separate, so shake up ACV before using it. For centuries it has been a farmhouse practice to mix concentrated grape must with wine vinegar and some aged vinegar to make a vinegar for everyday cooking. This is what "Balsamic Vinegar of Modena" is, a vinegar made from a mix of grape must and wine vinegar, produced at an industrial scale, to meet global demand for balsamic vinegar.
The culture and tradition of balsamic vinegar is so important that the Italian government applied for and received a Protected Geographic Indication from the European Union. To qualify for official recognition, Balsamic Vinegar of Modena can only be made with the following ingredients:.
The grape "must" must also come from grapes grown in the Emilio Romana Region in Italy, and the vinegar must be produced and bottled by qualified producers in the Modena region. What's the "caramel" for?
Caramel cooked sugar is added not as a sweetener, but to darken the vinegar to make it have a look more consistent with what we think of as balsamic vinegar. There is plenty enough sugar in the grape must. Think of the caramel in the ingredient list as a natural coloring agent. It's sweet in its unfermented, un-acidified state. Wine vinegar is acidic. So it's the balance of these two main ingredients — grape must and wine vinegar — that determines much of the resulting vinegar's character.
If you have a balsamic that has a greater percentage of grape must to wine vinegar, it will taste rather sweet. If the reverse is true, it will taste more acidic. Depending on the mix of grape must and vinegar, the amount of aging, and other factors, producers can even make a product whose flavor and consistency mimic traditional balsamic. The EU governing body that sets the standards for Balsamic Vinegar of Modena found that too many producers were misleading consumers who associated the number of years aged with quality.
So they did away with any indication of the number of years, and only allow two kinds — Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, which must be aged for a minimum of 2 months in wood barrels, and Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Aged, which must be aged for a minimum of 3 years, also in wood barrels.
There can be no other indication of age on the label. Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is meant to be used as an everyday vinegar for dressing salads, for marinades, or glazes. Lighter, tart balsamics will be best for using in a vinaigrette for dressing salads.
They can be sweetened and boiled down to use as a glaze. The sweeter, more syrupy vinegars are better for use in marinades, sauces, and to drizzle over dishes as a finishing sauce.
While the tradition of making balsamic vinegar comes from Modena, all you really need to make balsamic vinegar is the juice from crushed grapes with the possible addition of wine vinegar. You can find many perfectly fine balsamic-style vinegars for every day use that aren't from Modena and aren't Italian. Think Napa! In my pantry I even have a balsamic-style vinegar made entirely from apples, which has a wonderful flavor.
That said, some products that go by the name of "balsamic vinegar" may be cheap imitations that are made with just vinegar wine, white, or cider vinegar and added sweeteners and thickeners. Real balsamic vinegar is either made entirely with grape must like traditional balsamic , or is a combination of grape must and wine vinegar like Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI.
