What is White Balsamic Vinaigrette made of?

Essentially white balsamic vinaigrette is balsamic vinegar which includes essential ingredients like olive oil, garlic and seasonings.

What is the Difference Between Balsamic Vinaigrette and White Balsamic Vinaigrette?

The difference is primarily in the type of vinegar used, how it is manufactured and how long it normally musts. White balsamic vinegar is not left to must for as long as regular balsamic vinegar. Traditionally dark balsamic vinegars sit and musts for ages. Lighter balsamic vinegars must using a pressure cooker to avoid it from browning. Lighter balsamic vinegars are sweet and tangy and are perfect to brighten up roasted summer vegetables and to add tang.

This dish was inspired by summer. A time of year when I do some of my grocery shopping at my parents house because they have so many garden vegetables that they need to give them away or they will go bad. Often, we make Italian grilled vegetables and add a white balsamic vinaigrette to brighten up the dish.

Grilled vegetables with a white balsamic vinaigrette make a wonderful side dish for homemade Chicken Marsala, Barbecue Back Ribs in the Oven, or Salmon with Mango Salsa.

And, let's not forget about dessert. Pair your favorite meal with a nice slice of Cannoli Cake or some Pumpkin Spice Muffins.
