You know what I love… easy recipes! I’m sure you can all agree with me there! One of my favorite things to make is condiments. I really try to steer away from jarred sauces and like to make my own. My Simple Balsamic Vinaigrette is a delicious and easy salad dressing made in under 5 minutes! Tangy balsamic vinegar, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic, and seasonings make for the perfect light dressing. This is a Weight Watchers friendly recipe and 1 tablespoon is 2 SmartPoints.
Salad dressings are super easy to make, especially if you have all the ingredients already on hand. I’d much prefer to make my own salad dressing than buy the jarred stuff. Don’t get me wrong, pre-made salad dressing is super convenience and I will buy it if I just don’t feel up to making my own. My Simple Balsamic Vinaigrette is so easy to make and calls for just a few ingredients. Once you make this, you won’t want to buy another jarred vinaigrette again!
The dressing literally takes 5 minutes to make! To a mason jar (or any jar with a lid) add extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Close the lid, shake it up, and enjoy!
I love this to serve this dressing over my Quinoa Tabbouleh Spinach Salad and Greek Couscous Salad!
