Balsamic and EVOO are the base for the vinaigrette..the rest is depending upon how creative you want to get

..garlic, clove, ginger, crushed cranberries, chopped pecans, are all good adders for a good vinaigrette..am sure there are hundreds of other ideas out there...

This if from the FoodNetwork website:

Simple Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2003

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar, optional*
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup olive oil
Mesclun salad mix or favorite greens, for accompaniment
Assortment of salad ingredients, such as cherry tomatoes, chopped carrots, sliced red onion, chopped celery, diced cucumbers, walnuts
Blue cheese, for garnish

Beat the vinegar in a bowl with the optional sugar, garlic, salt and pepper until sugar and salt dissolves. Then beat in the oil by droplets, whisking constantly. (Or place all the ingredients in a screw-top jar and shake to combine.) Taste and adjust the seasonings.
Toss a few tablespoons of the dressing with the salad mix and desired salad ingredients, top with blue cheese and serve immediately.

If not using dressing right away, cover and refrigerate, whisking or shaking again before use.

*If using a good quality balsamic vinegar you should not need the sugar, but if using a lesser quality you might want the sugar to round out the dressing.

If you like it sweet just mix EVOO, the Balsamic vinegar with rasberry jam and add chopped walnuts or pecans on top. We use it all the time

It's Mother's Day, Get HOT!

Lately, I’ve been all about salads! I have always loved Hot Bacon Dressing and even though its not the healthiest dressing for your salad, it sure does taste good.

INGREDIENTS:
2 oz bacon grease/drippings
1/4 lb red onion, diced fine
2 cups water
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 Tbs Dijon mustard
1 1/2 Tbs cornstarch
1 Tbs Tabasco (optional)

Procedure:
1 Place the bacon grease in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until the onions start to blacken.
2 At the same time, in a mixing bowl place the water, honey and red wine vinegar. Using a whisk, mix the ingredients well. Add the cornstarch and whisk well.
3 After the onions have caramelized, add the Dijon mustard to the onions and stir together.
4 Add the water, vinegar, pepper, honey and cornstarch to the mustard and onions and mix. Continue stirring until mix thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and store in refrigerator until needed.
5 **To reheat, use a double boiler.
6 The Tabasco sauce is optional and can be added at the end for a little extra kick!

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T DO IT!

really good aged balsamic should NOT be mixed with anything! you want to taste its flavor, not mask or dilute it! especially since its soooooooo expensive.

the hot bacon vinaigrette is my favorite for spinach salad. and i like grapes, strawberries and toasted walnuts in it.

for a regular vinaigrette, i like to use olive oil, rice wine or champagne vinegar, salt and pepper, a big hunkin spoonful of stone ground mustard (kosioscuio works well, no matter how poorly you spell it. its a very fine ground) and a clove of roasted garlic.
you can use a good balsamic instead and it tastes just as good, but you may want to add a half tsp of sugar into it if the balsamic is on the bitter side.

mad max beyond eggdome · May 2008

for a spinach salad i think balsamic is a little overwhelming. ..try this one instead. ..

saute up a couple of slices of bacon till the fat is well rendered. .. . reserve about two tablespoons of the fat - keep it warm .. . crumble up the bacon very finely ... add it back to the warm fat along with a few table spoons of red wine vinager, a few tablespoons of EVOO and a tablespoon of sugar. . . it is fantastic on spinach salad . ..

i agree with eafo and max i would not make a vinegrette with 20 yr old balsamic any more than i would mix 20 year old congac with coke. which is why it is locked away so the boys cannot get to it.

if you really want to use it for the occasion i would just drizzle a bit on the salad.
just my 2¢
