Balsamic dressing is a flavorful vinaigrette made primarily from balsamic vinegar and oil, often olive oil. It is known for its rich, tangy taste and dark color, which comes from the aging process of the vinegar. This dressing is commonly used to enhance salads, vegetables, and grilled meats. In addition to its basic ingredients, balsamic dressing can include various seasonings such as garlic, mustard, or herbs to add depth to its flavor. It is a popular choice for those seeking a healthier alternative to creamy dressings, as it typically contains fewer calories and fats.
