Balsamic Vinaigrette

A basic vinaigrette typically consists of lemon juice or vinegar and oil and various seasonings to taste. The oil to vinegar ratio is usually in the area of 1-1 to 2-1. The seasonings can be as simple as salt and/or pepper to whatever you feel like throwing in with it. A sprinkle of this, a dash of that...

This is my preferred Balsamic Vinaigrette, I add a little honey to curb the vinegar for my hubby. If I'm the only one eating it, I leave the honey out altogether. I make it with a 1-1 ratio for Cucumber Salad, and 2-1 for anything else. I like the heavier vinegar flavor for my cucs.
