Good ingredients do
make a difference! I’ve been experimenting this with a variety of ingredients
including generic olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The taste was okay but a bit too sharp and
astringent for my taste buds. However, the dressing made with really good olive
oil, balsamic vinegar and an olive oil based mayo yielded a fresh tasting vinaigrette.
Tasteful Olive’s oregano-flavored balsamic vinegar added the “perfect” flavor,
and I preferred it’s light color versus the dark color of most balsamic
vinegars.

Balsamic Vinegar - this is a light
colored balsamic vinegar)

Whisk together the oil, vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, garlic
and a pinch of salt and pepper in a jar or blender. Thin with more olive oil if desired.
