If you know me, I love a good salad and homemade dressing. This Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette is no different! I take a salad every day to work in this convenient salad bento box and look forward to it all day long.
I wasn’t a salad fanatic until my mom introduced me to some of the best dressing recipes and now I will not eat a salad without a homemade dressing or just balsamic and oil. They are just much easier than people think, and ingredients can be swapped for lighter versions. Homemade dressings are definitely a game changer and this creamy balsamic vinaigrette is no different.
Olive oil and balsamic is the go-to dressing when I have nothing else for my salads. We always have these two ingredients, but I wanted to elevate this staple and make it creamy. This is where this Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette came from!
I have been experimenting with different creamy dressings over the last few months like my Greek Yogurt Ranch and Burger Salad Dressing, so I wanted to try another creamy dressing. I will be for sure trying more. The combination of olive oil mayo and 2% Greek yogurt make this dressing seem heavier without all the heavy ingredients and extra calories and trans fat.
