Easy Balsamic and Olive Oil Salad dressing..

We eat a lot of salad... and well.. there just aren't alot of Paleo salad dressing out there..
There is always the good 'ol standby: Olive oil and Lemon.. but that can get a little boring...

Here's a little creation of mine that tastes great on just about any type of salad.

Ingredients:
4 ounces Balsamic Vinegar (or you could use Bragg's Apple Cider vinegar)
8 ounces EVOO (for you newbies: that's EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil)
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/8 tsp. Pepper
Seasonings ( I use Bragg's Organic Sprinkle) but Italian Herbs mix would work great too.
2-3 pressed Garlic cloves
1/4 tsp. Onion Powder
Water just as a thinner..

This recipe will yield approx. 12 oz. of Dressing

Breaks down to 1 part Balsamic vinegar to two part EVOO.
Add ALL ingredients into a blender, mix in quick short spurts. If dressing seems too thick, add a few drops of water until desired consistency.

If you want your dressing a little more on the sweet side.. add 1/2 tsp. of agave nectar (I like the dressing more on the tart side, side I omit the sweetener)

Store in a spill proof container..shake to mix before each use.
IF you refrigerate, take out of fridge and let sit to room temperature before using.. .the oil and vinegar tend to separate and not mix well when cold.

One of our fav's... Rib Eye Steak Salad....

I usually BBQ Rib Eye Steaks once a week.. I use the left over steak the next day to top off my salad at lunch or dinner!
