Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette
Author: 
Prep time: 
Total time: 
Serves: ¾ c
 
Ingredients
  • ¼ c balsamic vinegar (good quality, if you can)
  • ¼ c Greek yogurt or sour cream (low fat or nonfat work great! I'm sure vegan is a-okay)
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (good quality, if you can)
  • ⅛ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp basil
  • ¾ tsp oregano
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • honey or agave nectar, to taste
Instructions
  1. Whisk the first 6 ingredients together. Taste, adding salt, pepper, and your preferred sweetener until the dressing is perfected to your tastes.
Notes
I find some balsamic vinegars to be inherently sweeter than others, so I didn't list an amount of sweetener. I've been happy with anywhere from none to 1 tbsp. 1 tsp is a good place to start if you think it needs sweetness.
Nutritional estimate uses low fat sour cream and 1½ tsp honey. Leaving out the honey and opting for fat free yogurt reduces it by about 15 calories per 2 tbsp.
