Summer is here and I’m so excited to make fresh meals from all the wonderful produce available at the farmers market and my local store. I just made this beautiful nectarine, tomato and corn salad recipe and topped it with this fantastic balsamic vinaigrette dressing that is now stored in my fridge for all my summer salads or for a nice twist for a caprese salad!
Using a really good balsamic will make this salad dressing one you will want to make over and over. The homemade balsamic salad dressing recipe is slightly sweet and oh, so silky smooth. I made mine with regular balsamic, but a white balsamic will make the dressing invisible if you prefer that. Making your own salad dressing is so easy and so much healthier than store-bought, which are often very high in sugar and sodium.
You only need four simple ingredients for this vinaigrette recipe. Here is your shopping list: canola oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and either minced red onion or shallots. The ingredients are whisked or shaken together, seasoned with salt and black pepper and then drizzled over whatever salad you'd like. So simple!
