Vegan Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

When you need an easy vegan salad dressing you can whip up in a jiffy, turn to a basic balsamic vinaigrette. It's quick, easy, tasty, and made with vegan and gluten-free ingredients. This is the easiest and quickest vinaigrette recipe you'll ever find. If your usual homemade salad dressings seem to be lacking something, this dressing uses the complex flavor of balsamic vinegar and the snap of dijon mustard. For flavor variations, add chopped fresh herbs. Just about any kind will do in a vinaigrette, including thyme, dill, or rosemary. True balsamic vinegar differs from regular vinegar in that it is made from fermented grape juice (not wine) that is reduced to a thick syrup and aged in wooden barrels. This results in an intricate, fruity, and sweet flavor. Look for the word "Tradizionale" And an origin in italy. Because this is a long process, true balsamic vinegar is expensive. When you see less expensive offerings they are often made with a blend of balsamic and red wine vinegar boosted with caramel and other flavorings. Unfortunately, sometimes gelatin is added, which makes this a non-vegan product. Be sure to check the ingredients when buying less expensive balsamic vinegar.
