I do a 3-2-1 dressing….the balsamic on this website puts all others to shame!
any measurement will do….Tbsp…tsp….cup…whatever
3 – balsamic
2 – dijon mustard
1 – sweetener….I use maple syrup
So just pick a measurement and mix away!! It’s the best dressing and without oil very low in fat!
Beets and Fennel Salad with Black Cherry Balsamic Vinaigrette
3 c. cooked, peeled and sliced beets; any color
1/2 c. very thinly sliced fennel bulb (try using a mandolin)
2 T. dried, cherry flavored cranberries or dried cherries
1 1/2 T. black cherry balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 T. EVOO (preferably a light, fresh EVOO)
1/4 t. fennel seeds, lightly crushed
1/4 t. light agave syrup or other sweetner (optional)
pinch of salt
freshly ground pepper (if using a stronger EVOO, omit pepper)
In a medium bown, combine beets, fennel bulb and cranberries. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, fennel seeds, agave syrup and salt and pepper. While whisking, slowly add olive oil in a steady stream. Adjust seasoning.
Pour vinaigrette over beet mixture and toss to coat.
Refigerate at least two hours to allow flavors to meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.
