Honey Balsamic Dressing: Dissolve the Honey in Vinegar, Then Add Oil Gradually

This dressing combines balsamic vinegar and honey, with olive oil added last. The color may look uniform even when some honey remains unmixed, so check the bottom of the small dish. Start by serving half the finished amount alongside your food, then taste.

Before cooking for one

Cooking just for yourself? Start with these amounts from the recipe's one-serving column. Check the full ingredient list below for the remaining ingredients and seasonings.

  • Balsamic vinegar: 0.5 household eating spoon
  • Olive oil: 0.75 household eating spoon
  • Honey: 0.25 household eating spoon

Follow the recipe's preparation and cooking steps after measuring; package size is not the amount to use.

The ingredient list is based on balsamic vinegar. Thick, concentrated glaze has a different consistency and sweetness, so swapping it in as is will make a different sauce. Measure the honey and oil separately, and mix the vinegar with the honey first. The olive oil amount is 3/4 household eating spoon, slightly more than half a spoonful of vinegar.

Ingredients for 1 serving

  • Balsamic vinegar: 1/2 household eating spoon
  • Olive oil: 3/4 household eating spoon
  • Honey: 1/4 household eating spoon

This is written based on the ingredient list for 1 serving in the app. A household eating spoon and a pinch are everyday measures and have not been converted to exact grams or milliliters. Check the package sizes and cup capacities in parentheses as well.

Method

  • Step 1. Measure out each ingredient in the listed amounts.
  • Step 2. Put the ingredients in a small dish or cup. If using oil, add it last in two additions, stirring 20 times after each addition. Mix until the color is even throughout.
  • Step 3. Serve half the finished sauce to start. Taste a bite, then add more as desired. If serving it with other sauces, use a little of each.

Add the Oil in Two Batches

Rather than pouring it all in at once, add the oil in two batches and stir 20 times after each. Use a spoon to scrape any honey from the edge of the dish back into the mixture. It may separate into layers if left to stand, so check it just before serving. This method does not involve waiting for it to set completely or become thick like syrup.

Consider the Color of the Food When Serving

Try drizzling a little over tomatoes or roasted vegetables. Because this dressing is dark, using a lot on white tofu or light-colored vegetables will also change their surface color. Before pouring it over the whole plate, try half or less on one area and check the taste and appearance. The honey flavor may be too much with food that is already seasoned to be sweet.
