Balsamic Vinegar Salad Dressing

Okay, so I told you about the upcoming Metropolitan Cooking Show in the previous post.  One of my favorite vendors at the show is JD Gourmet (http://www.jdgourmet.com/).  I really like this vendor because they have the absolute best balsamic vinegars in the country.  I routinely use their Black Mission Fig Balsamic Vinegar and their White Balsamic Vinegar with Pear.  Here's a recipe for Balsamic Vinegar Salad Dressing using either.   I have made this dressing with balsamic vinegars from several local grocery stores and they just doesn't have the depth of flavor as the balsamic vinegers from JD Gourmet - treat yourself - it's worth it!

Fig Balsamic Vinegar Dressing
3 T fig balsamic vinegar
1 t dijon mustard
1 t honey
1/4 t freshly ground black pepper
dash of salt
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Combine vinegar, mustard, honey, and S&P in small bowl and whisk to combine.  Slowly add EVOO and continue whisking.  The mixture will emulsify and become a gorgeous, glossy dressing.  Just before serving, pour dressing over greens of your choice and , using salad serving spoons or tongs, mix to ensure even coverage - best with mixed field greens, spinach, etc.  Delish!
