Garlic Balsamic Dressing Recipes

BALSAMIC VINEGAR DRESSING

Steps:

• Place ingredients in a jar and shake very well. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
• Keeps for 3 weeks on the counter (unless it is very hot where you are, store it in the fridge), assuming you use fresh olive oil. Do not keep for more than 4 weeks as high quality olive oil tends to lose flavour beyond 4 weeks after opening the bottle.

GARLIC AND BASIL VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine the basil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and Parmesan cheese in a blender. Blend until ingredients form a paste. Slowly pour olive oil into the mixture and continue to blend until smooth.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. Whisk before serving.

WARM GARLIC BALSAMIC DRESSING

Steps:

• In a medium skillet combine garlic, oil and some salt and pepper. Cook over medium low until garlic is soft and very light. (If it darkens, it will turn bitter. Throw everything away and start again.) Add the vinegars and sugar. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes.
• Taste by cooling a sample first (it will be very hot), and seeing if there's soft acidity and good sweet/tart balance. If too, acid, continue simmering. If acid is lacking, add a little more vinegar.
• Remove from heat, cover and hold until shortly before serving (up to 3 hours). Taste again, adjusting seasonings if necessary.
• Heat up and spoon over salad.

EASY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• With the bottom of a glass jar or side of a knife, lightly crush the garlic clove.
• To a 8-oz mason jar, add the crushed garlic clove, salt, mustard, and honey or maple syrup, using a fork or small whisk to combine.
• Add the balsamic vinegar, add the lid, and shake vigorously until the salt has dissolved and all the ingredients are combined.
• Add the olive oil and pepper, add the lid, and shake vigorously until the vinaigrette has emulsified. Taste and add additional salt or pepper if desired.
• Remove the garlic clove and discard, or set aside for another use. Alternatively, keep the garlic clove in the jar to infuse the dressing with a stronger garlic flavor.
• Store, refrigerated, for up to 5 days. To use, allow to come to room temperature, and shake well to recombine.
