Makes 16 servings.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions:
Beat the vinegar in a bowl with the garlic, salt and pepper with a whisk until blended. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, whisking constantly. (You can also put all ingredients in a screw top jar and shake to combine.) Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Makes about 1 cup.
