Balsamic Vinaigrette

The salad dressing aisle is not a safe place for those of us that are gluten intolerant. Almost all dressings have some kind of thickener - wheat or corn starch, many have soybean oil as their first ingredient, and even the organic dressings often contain xanthan gum, a binder that is derived from corn.

This delicious sweet and tangy balsamic vinaigrette is very easy to make, completely grain free, and is great on any salad.

Hope you enjoy!
