My husband and I love a good healthy salad for lunch or for dinner and we always keep a batch of this in the refrigerator. As a bonus balsamic dressing is vegan, gluten free, and whole 30 compliant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My balsamic vinaigrette is not only for dressing a salad, but this versatile recipe can also be used as a marinade, bread dip, in a wrap, or drizzled atop roasted vegetables. There is always a reason to keep some handy to add some rich flavor to any meal of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33333%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"132630\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/balsamic-vinaigrette\/balsamic-vinaigrette-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/balsamic-vinaigrette-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS R&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1761276389&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"balsamic vinaigrette 2\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;A bowl of chopped garlic and herb oil dip, reminiscent of a rustic balsamic vinaigrette, is surrounded by slices of baguette on a woven placemat with a striped cloth nearby.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/balsamic-vinaigrette-2-233x350.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/balsamic-vinaigrette-2.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"132630\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/balsamic-vinaigrette\/balsamic-vinaigrette-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/balsamic-vinaigrette-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"4\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"Canon EOS R\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"1761276389\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"24\",\"iso\":\"160\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0.0125\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"1\"}' data-image-title=\"balsamic vinaigrette 2\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;A bowl of chopped garlic and herb oil dip, reminiscent of a rustic balsamic vinaigrette, is surrounded by slices of baguette on a woven placemat with a striped cloth nearby.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/balsamic-vinaigrette-2-233x350.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/balsamic-vinaigrette-2.jpg\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Open image 1 of 3 in full-screen\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/balsamic-vinaigrette-2.jpg?strip=info&amp;w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/balsamic-vinaigrette-2.jpg?strip=info&amp;w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/balsamic-vinaigrette-2.jpg?strip=info&amp;w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"A bowl of chopped garlic and herb oil dip, reminiscent of a rustic balsamic vinaigrette, is surrounded by slices of baguette on a woven placemat with a striped cloth nearby.\" data-height=\"1800\" data-id=\"132630\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/?attachment_id=132630\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/balsamic-vinaigrette-2.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sweetcsdesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/balsamic-vinaigrette-2.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" data-pin-description=\"Balsamic Vinaigrette -

id=\"h-tips-and-tricks-for-balsamic-salad-dressing\">Tips and Tricks for Balsamic Salad Dressing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use quality balsamic vinegar<\/strong> &ndash; Aged balsamic has natural sweetness and complexity that elevates the dressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Balance the acid with sweetness<\/strong> &ndash; Add a touch of honey, maple syrup, or even a pinch of sugar to mellow sharp vinegar notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whisk or shake thoroughly<\/strong> &ndash; Combine oil and vinegar well so the dressing emulsifies instead of separating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use a 3:1 ratio<\/strong> &ndash; Stick with about 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar as a starting point, then adjust to taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make it creamy if desired<\/strong> &ndash; Whisk in a little mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, or avocado for a creamier texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mix in a jar<\/strong> &ndash; Shake dressing in a mason jar with a tight lid for easy mixing and storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taste before serving<\/strong> &ndash; Flavors can intensify as the dressing sits, so always taste and adjust just before using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Store properly<\/strong> &ndash; Keep refrigerated in a sealed container for up to a week; shake before each use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\">FAQs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div

id=\"faq-question-1759340366455\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long does homemade balsamic vinaigrette last?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Stored in a sealed container in the
