Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette
10mOne of my favorite dressings for a basic green salad. Most grocery stores will carry high quality mixed greens that are washed and ready to go. Just whip up a quick batch of this balsamic vinaigrette and you've got a great side salad in under 10 minutes.
What you will need
1 Shallot
4 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 cup Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Honey
Salt and Pepper as needed

1
Peel and halve the shallot, then mince finely. For more details, take a look at the attached recipe.
2
Combine shallot with balsamic vinegar.
3
Add a little salt.
4
Add a few turns of freshly ground black pepper. Now let it sit for 5-10 minutes while you assemble your salad, so the shallot can soften and the flavors can mingle.
5
Whisk in the olive oil.
6
It's best to add the oil into the vinegar in a thin stream as you whisk rapidly so that the oil will be dispersed into the vinegar and the dressing will thicken.
7
Whisk in a couple of Tbsp of honey. Double check the seasoning and add whatever you think it needs.

Back in maybe 2006, I staged for 1 night at this place called Chef Mavro's. It's still one of the best restaurants in Hawaii. What I remember most about that night is being shown how to brunoise a shallot.
