- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 large shallot minced
- 1 tablespoon honey see notes
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard smooth or grainy
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup neutral-flavored oil such as avocado oil

Instructions

Notes
- One serving of dressing equals 2 tablespoons.
- Balsamic vinaigrette can also be made by hand whisking, or combining the ingredients in a covered mason jar and shaking aggressively, however, the texture may appear different than the photos. We do recommend using a blender for the creamiest texture.
- Balsamic vinaigrette can be saved in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Scale the honey up or down depending on how sweet you like your dressing.
