    How to Make Balsamic Vinaigrette

    This balsamic vinaigrette is probably my favorite salad dressing.  I make it more than any other - it's very versatile, and goes with almost any salad.  The garlic is completely optional - I rarely use more than one clove, sometimes less if I am only making a small amount.  I love the spice and flavor it adds, but it is completely up to you, the dressing is just fine without.
