Balsamic vinaigrette is a tangy and flavorful salad dressing made from a blend of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and seasonings such as mustard, garlic, or herbs. Originating from Italian cuisine, the star ingredient—balsamic vinegar—offers a rich, slightly sweet taste that pairs well with vegetables, fruits, and meats. Olive oil, often used as the base, provides heart-healthy fats linked to improved cholesterol and reduced inflammation. The dressing is typically lower in calories compared to cream-based dressings, making it a popular option for lighter meals. However, commercial varieties may contain added sugars or preservatives, so checking the ingredient list is important for optimal nutrition. Whether drizzled over a crisp salad or used as a marinade, balsamic vinaigrette delivers versatile flavor alongside valuable nutrients when consumed in moderation.
