With balsamic vinegar, you get what you pay for. Most of the bottled balsamic vinegar dressings are way too acidic for my taste. Good quality balsamic vinegar has been aged longer and I think it is worth paying a bit more for it. I remember overhearing a young man complaining to the manager of a Chicago store about the balsamic vinegar he had purchased which he claimed, "tasted like swill." A good moderately priced balsamic vinegar is a treasure indeed, and a little of it goes a long way. This dressing on some fresh baby spinach with thinly sliced red onions and mushrooms is very good. If you want to add some sweetness to the salad, add some fresh strawberries or raspberries, not sugar. It will taste better and be so much better for you.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup of good extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup good quality balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon of sea salt and freshly ground black Malabar pepper
Put the lid on the jar and shake well.
