Sweet Balsamic Vinaigrette


Springtime is in full force here, and you can really see it in the vegetable garden. The spring onions and the rhubarb are growing tall, the new potatoes will be ready to harvest soon. The cabbages are looking lovely, and the pumpkins are already showing signs of a good crop to come in the autum. Snow peas are ready for picking, and so is the lettuce and the arugula. Amazing how the garden is all fresh and new again. We are already eating plenty of salad around here, because everything tends to grow at the same time. Now the wonderful Mr.G, bless his heart, will eat his salad, with just olive oil and vinegar if need be. Uhhmm, me not so much, I need a dressing, drizzled all over my rabbit food salad. Enter this quick, and delicous sweet balsamic vinaigrette, it is better than anything you can buy pre-bottled. It is tangy and sweet and will add extraordinary flavor to the simplest of salads. Trust me, you will want to eat salad for lunch and dinner, that can´t be a bad thing...right ??










1/4 cup balsamic vinegar or 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced / (1/2 tsp garlic powder )
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil



Combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sugar, garlic, salt, and black pepper together in a glass jar with a lid. Replace lid on the jar and shake vigorously until thoroughly combined.
