Lemon Balsamic Dressing

Why Should You Make This Recipe?
You know what goes in there: I get it. It is convenient to grab a bottle of balsamic vinaigrette when you are at the store. However, most of those are packed with preservatives and low quality ingredients. When you make homemade dressings like this one, you know every single ingredient that goes in this one.
It comes together in minutes: All you need is 6 ingredients (including salt & black pepper) and 5 minutes to whip this easy recipe.
Easy to adjust I think the recipe is perfect, but you can easily use it as a base and adjust it to your liking, which I will talk more about below.
