Genuinely the best balsamic vinaigrette I’ve ever tasted! Super quick to make, took literally 5 minutes. Thank you!

In reply to Mary. Hi Mary, yes you can use avocado if that is your preference. It has a more neutral flavor.

Could avocado oil be used instead of EVOO? It is a great recipe as is, but I was wondering if the avocado oil would be a suitable substitute,

I make this weekly in the spring/summer and add extra pepper. It really has the tang of a restaurant dressing!

This dressing was outstanding! Best balsamic we have ever had. Served it to guests too and they loved it, asked for recipe. I used Maple syrup instead of honey- loved that flavor instead. I had to tweak it to my taste but your “taste and adjustment” directions were everything that made this fantastic. Appreciate that. Favorite dressing now in our home and whenever serving salads. Thank you. Will try several more.

Dear Kate, I feel like I know you and Cookie, as I have been following you for years. Your website has been my “go to”, and I LOVE to cook a lot. This is the first time I am writing (thus the introduction), but I figured it was high time to give you praise for the many meals you have helped me prepare. I am a person who forges my own path so to speak and rarely follow a recipe as is, because I see, when looking at them, how they can be improved. Yours are the ones I change the least; in fact, I KNOW I can trust them just as they are: flavourful, healthy and delicious!!

The Balsamic Vinaigrette above is a wonderful one to have on hand. I did not have basic balsamic on hand when I made it, but my blackberry ginger balsamic was fabulous in it. I’m sure this could be played with, with other flavours.

Can’t wait to try the “Southwestern Kale Power” recipe now, as I am harvesting so much kale from my tiny garden. I have discovered with this abundance of kale I have, that even massaging it with oil, lemon juice and salt prepares it for all kind of wonderful uses (soups, stews, salads), and extends its refrigerator life.

Thanks again Kate; you and cookie are the BEST!
Donna❤️
