White Balsamic Vinaigrette is light, sweet, and tangy with just enough oil to coat a salad and not leave it soggy. This vinaigrette is part of my very favorite summer salad recipe, my sister Jenny’s Orange Parsley Salad.
I highly recommend that you shake up a batch of this dressing today and have it ready to go for all your salads. This dressing is so good on its own, I’ve doubled the original recipe and given it its own post.
Try White Balsamic Vinaigrette with one of these salads:
White Balsamic Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup light flavored olive oil
- 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small jar and shake to combine. Store in the refrigerator for up to a month. Enjoy!
Notes
If you are avoiding white sugar, yes, you can make this with honey. However, it will have a completely different flavor. The honey version is tasty, but the one with sugar is my personal favorite.

Hi, Mary, I just happened upon your site. I love the idea of making homemade dressings! I’m wondering why yours don’t seem to include any mustard (Dijon)? I thought it was essential to emulsifying dressings (incl. mayo). Is it just a taste preference for you?
Looking forward to your Poppyseed Dressing!
Katie

Mustard is not required at all, Katie. Feel free to add it, but it isn’t necessary.
