Balsamic Dijon Vinaigrette
Instead of making our go-to salad dressing, Fran’s vinaigrette, I made this easy balsamic Dijon vinaigrette recipe to pair with a spinach strawberry salad I was serving for dinner, along with some flank steak, and a batch of sheet pan roasted potatoes and green beans. We all enjoyed this balsamic dressing and thought it was tangy, sweet, and loaded with flavor.
Balsamic Dijon Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- ¼ cup of vegetable or olive oil
- 3 tbsp of balsamic vinegar, to taste
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp honey
- ¼ tsp sugar
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
How to Make a Balsamic Dijon Vinaigrette
Combine the oil, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, sugar, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, in a small glass jar. Seal with lid and shake until well combined.
Set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors time to mingle.
Side Note: We like a tangy vinaigrette. If you don’t, use less vinegar.

So sorry you’re still in pain! But hey, you found a second photographer – you’re husband took some nice shots!
Oh and this vinaigrette – definitely need to try it. I have this amazing balsamic fig that I can use for this.

oh, Pam! I’m so sorry that your back is still bothering you this much. Hope you continue to improve very quickly!
Having broken my back when I was younger I know how debilitating back pain can be. Just take care and do not rush things, we will all be here when you return. This sounds like a great salad dressing. Take it easy Diane

Homemade balsamic vinaigrette is the best and it is so easy to make!
Oh Pam, I know it’s got to be hard for you, but you know you have to take care of yourself and not push yourself too hard or the process will just take longer. Easier said then done, though, I know! Just take care of you!! At least you are starting out with the simple things….. I’m loving this vinaigrette! It could work with so many things.
I hope you’ll feel better soon! Back pain is the worst…

Oh! I was thinking about you this morning, as my husband complained of some back pain after bringing in a huge load of wood for the stoves! Heartening to see you beginning to blog again, but disheartening to know that you’re still uncomfortable! Take it easy and be well, dearie!
mmm, i love a sweet vinaigrette, this looks awesome! keep resting up, i hope you’re back to normal soon!
Glad you’re up and about a little bit, because I understand your pain very well. Take care of yourself, Pam!
O Pam, you should get more rest and treat yourself with a back massage.
A lovely vinaigrette!
Get well soon!

This would be lovely for my favourite spinach salad. I sure hope you feel better soon.
After reading the salad post I was hopeful you were fully healed and 100% better. I’m sorry you aren’t yet, and I you are feeling back to normal soon!
Balsamic and Dijon are two of my favorite flavor combos in a vinaigrette.
I hope that you are healed up soon, Pam.
