Everyone needs a basic, yet delicious, salad dressing. And this recipe for Balsamic Vinaigrette is it! Use a high quality olive oil to maximize its antioxidant potential (quality olive oil contains 30 phenolic compounds with antioxidant activity—particularly oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol—as well as alpha-tocopherol, an important form of vitamin E!). Or if that’s not in your budget, simply use whatever oil you have on hand!
