Notes
We use the traditional oil to vinegar ratio: three parts oil to one part vinegar, but this ratio can vary depending on the type of vinegar you use and personal taste. The less acidic the balsamic vinegar is, the less oil you will need. It’s all about balance!
Add the oil in a slow and steady stream for the best emulsion. Pause and taste as you add the oil; you might not need all of it.
If the vinaigrette is too tangy, add more honey to taste.
