Balsamic vinaigrette
Dark, sweet and syrupy. The one everyone knows — done properly, with real balsamic and a little honey.

Cheap balsamic is sharp and thin. A decent aged bottle needs no honey at all.
Method
- 01
Put everything except the oil into a clean screw-top jar and shake to dissolve the salt.
- 02
Add the oil, seal tightly and shake hard for 20–30 seconds until thick and emulsified.
- 03
Taste on a leaf, not a spoon. Adjust salt, acid or sweetness, then shake again before dressing.
Keep cooking
