If you like Balsamic vinegar you will love this. If you are a little skittish you may want to add the vinegar in small portions and taste test. As posted this really pops with flavor. I serve this with angel hair pasta and green beans.

BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE - LOW FAT/LOW CALORIE



Balsamic Vinaigrette - Low Fat/Low Calorie image

I developed this recipe to be low-point on Weight Watchers but high on flavor. I built it around one of my favorite spice blends, Sunny Paris, from Penzeys Spices. My mother always kept some garlic infused olive oil in her cabinet and I incorporated it for a great flavor carrier in this dressings.

Number Of Ingredients 3

3/4 c highest quality balsamic vinegar
1-2 Tbsp olive oil, infused with garlic
2+ tsp sunny paris spice blend from penzeys spices - to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Note: Prepare prior to making recipe: Place five peeled garlic cloves in olive oil bottle containing 1/2 cup of olive oil and let the garlic infuse the oil for several days. The oil can be used for several weeks for other purposes as well.
  • 2. Measure all ingredients into a dressing bottle and shake. Use "Sunny Paris" spice to taste. You can use any herbs or blend you might like. I use about 12 T. (3/4 of Balsamic Vinegar) to 1 T. of oil, but you can increase the oil if you like.
