Did you know it is National Vinegar Month and National Salad Month? I love vinegar. Vinegar on my subs. Vinegar chips. And I always slurp up the last bit of vinegar in my salad bowl. Too much information? I think not!
I thought I’d share with you one of our favorite homemade salad dressings using Pompeian Balsamic Vinegar so we can start #DressingItUp for National Salad Month!
My favorite vinegar is balsamic vinegar. It brings me back to our Italian honeymoon and the yummy aceto balsamico we had in Cinque Terre and in Pompeii! If I have to make a salad dressing from scratch, I always choose balsamic vinegar.
