Fig Infused Balsamic Vinaigrette



A vinaigrette is generally one part vinegar to 3 parts oil and flavored with a variety of herbs and spices. They are simple to make and a great alternative to store bought dressings that often contains added sugars and preservatives. 

Fig Infused White Balsamic Vinaigrette

This is slightly sweet, light dressing that does wonders on a plain salad. For a lighter dressing, I use 1 part vinegar to 2 parts oil. I usually make a big batch to have on hand for the whole week. 

2/3 cup olive oil
Salt & pepper

In a small bowl, or dressing container, combine white balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Since there are no emulsifiers in this dressing, you will need to shake it prior to each use.
