How do i make olive oil/balsamic vinegar dip?

if it is just the 2 ingredients you want, the general rule of thumb is 2 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. Hope this helpsHow do i make olive oil/balsamic vinegar dip?
Pour balsamic vinegar into a bowl. Add 1 part mustard (any kind works) to 5 parts vinegar. SLOWLY drizzle in oil while WHISKING vigorously. Keep adding oil just until the oil won't incorporate anymore. Season w/ salt %26amp; pepper to taste.





You need to add mustard or some other small, small ground up solid so the oil and vinegar will mix into a colloidal suspension. Otherwise, they will separate.





You may want to try a salad oil or canola oil. Olive oil can get bitter when whisked into an emulsion/colloid like this.





You can add herbs/spices as well. Minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, savory would work well. Experiment.How do i make olive oil/balsamic vinegar dip?
