I love a good simple homemade salad dressing. Most of the time, a good quality balsamic vinegar with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil is all I need to make me happy. Not to mention, it’s super quick and easy. Let me stress the “good quality” part because not all kinds of vinegar are created equal. They can make or break a salad.

I’ve shared a few of my other favorite dressings on the blog, like this  Honey Mustard Vinaigrette Dressing, my all-time Favorite Salad Dressing (obviously), Creamy Mayo Vinaigrette (Paleo-friendly), and Paleo Creamy Balsamic Dressing…so good!!
