What a great recipe! It's exactly the flavor and lightness I was looking for. The only change I made was to make my own homemade Italian salad dressing mix from another recipe on the internet. I used 2 tbsp of that mix, with the rest of the ingredients. This is now a favorite that I can't imagine being without. I poured it over cooked asparagus for a light veggie snack.

This tangy Balsamic dressing really packs a punch. It is one of the most flavorful dressing recipes I have ever tasted. Even my picky seven-year-old loved this delicious recipe.
