Is this recipe for a balsamic vinaigrette healthy?

Yes! It’s made with simple, real food ingredients and no funky oils. And researchers believe vinegar has many health benefits !

How long does homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing last?

Both vinegar and oil are natural preservatives, so this balsamic salad dressing lasts at least a week or two in the fridge. This recipe makes enough for one main dinner salad, and possibly two nights' worth of side salads. You can easily double it in a larger jar for more yummy salads.

What is the best ratio of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for salad dressing?

I like to use one part olive oil to two parts balsamic vinegar for my balsamic vinegar vinaigrette, along with Dijon mustard to help emulsify the dressing (that’s a fancy way of saying it helps keep everything mixed together so it doesn’t separate).
