Balsamic Vinaigrette

This is how to make a balsamic vinaigrette, which goes great on salads, as a dip for bread, as a marinade for meats, and even for treats like strawberries and ice cream. You'll need a mixing bowl, a whisk, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, dijon mustard, garlic, and thyme.

Pour as much balsamic for about 3/5 to 3/4 the total amount of vinaigrette you would like to make. In this case, I've used about 3/4 cup to make a small batch. Add about 1/10 part dijon mustard, or a dollop here. Add a small amount of thyme, and some minced garlic. Whisk until the mustard is completely mixed.

While whisking, slowly drip olive oil in as thin of a line as possible, to taste. Keep whisking about one minute.

You can bottle this up and enjoy it with almost any dish. So experiment, but be sure to balance your flavors, and taste everything!
