My Not-So-Secret Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

I created this recipe when I was 18. It's close to my heart as I have used it for years in my two Italian restaurants that I just sold.

I have used it to marinate chicken, fish, and steak. However, it's best used on a salad with grilled chicken, candied pecans, feta or Gorgonzola, cranberries or strawberries, and romaine.

Ingredients

  • Fedorzini Balsamic (Green Label) 4 cups
  • Dark Amber Honey 1 cup
  • Light Brown Sugar ¾ cup

Preparation

  1. Use a stainless steel bowl and pour 2 cups of balsamic into the bowl.
  2. Add the brown sugar and whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Add the remaining 2 cups of balsamic to the bowl and whisk together.
  4. Slowly pour the honey in a steady stream while whisking the dressing. That's it.

The key to this dressing is to refrigerate as long as possible before using. I usually let the dressing ferment for about a week until I serve it. The taste is more muted after that time.

If you choose to serve the dressing right away, be cautioned. It is extremely potent.

Enjoy!
