Entered for safekeeping. Why pay $ for Wegman's vinegar spritzers to spray on a salad when you can make your own? Found this recipe by deliathecrone. Buy a very fine balsamic vinegar, it is a treat that needs no oil to be enjoyed. Lucini Gran Riserva Balsamico for $14 for 8 oz. is recommended by Cook's Illustrated. Villa Manodori Balsamic at $35/8.5 oz. is also recommended. Avoid Pompeian, but Star or Progresso might suit you among the inexpensive brands. You will taste the difference in quality. Preparation time does not include sitting time of 1 hour or more. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons shallots, minced |
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons sugar or 1 tablespoon splenda sugar substitute |
1/2 teaspoon salt (or don's flavor enhancer with very low sodium) |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth (or maureen's chicken broth with very low sodium) or 1/4 cup low sodium vegetable broth |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
2 teaspoons garlic, minced |
1/2 cup flat-leaf italian parsley, chopped |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients in a jar and cover. Shake well.
2. Leave at room temperature at least one hour, and preferably overnight. Shake occasionally during this period.
3. Strain using a coffee filter in a strainer. Put the liquid in a food-quality spritzer bottle.
4. Before using, each time, shake well. Then spritz on the salad greens or vegetables of your choice.
