Elderberry + Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

This refreshing vinaigrette is a main stay in our kitchen this summer with it’s unique pairing of sweet & acidic. I love that it is extremely simple to make, requires only five staple ingredients & whips up within minutes!

With the abundance of berries available right now it is the perfect time to incorporate this summer salad it into the weekly menu. We have also poured this dressing over homemade sourdough bruscetta which adds a bright layering of flavor that the family raved about - I love that versatility!

This recipe originated from our friends at Heartland Honey and has been slightly modified to incorporate our supportive Elderberry Syrup. Thank you for allowing me to share this, Joli!


Ingredients

1 cup Extra Virgin Olive oil

1/3 cup Raw, Local Honey

2 Tbsp Mindfully Made Elderberry Syrup

1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar

1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning



Directions:

So simple! Combine all ingredients in medium bowl & whisk away! Stores in a clean, airtight container refrigerated for several months.

My favorite way to enjoy this dressing is over a green salad with roasted almonds or pecans, goat cheese, sliced strawberries & sliced red onion. Mix & match ingredients to suite the season & your mood!

Tip: Pull dressing bottle out of the refrigerator five minutes before pouring to allow the olive oil to return to a liquified state. Then, give your bottle a good shake to reincorporate the ingredients before serving.

Enjoy! - Carol B.
