Balsamic Vinaigrette

Balsamic Vinaigrette

Difficulty: Easy | Total Time: 5 mins | Makes: About 1 cup

The key to making a good balsamic vinaigrette is balancing tangy balsamic vinegar with olive oil. Here I've added a bit of brown sugar to bring out the sweetness in the balsamic, and some marjoram leaves for herbal freshness. This dressing comes together in about 5 minutes, and thanks to the blender it has a thick, creamy consistency. Use any leftovers to marinate meat or vegetables for grilling.

  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 medium garlic clove, peeled and smashed
  • 2 teaspoons packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh marjoram leaves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until evenly combined, about 30 seconds. Refrigerate in a container with a tightfitting lid for up to 3 days.
