Balsamic Vinaigrette

Here's something with which to dress a salad...

This salad dressing is easy to make and tastes great. It adds a flavorful zing to a bowl of leafy greens.

The recipe calls for a half-teaspoon mixture of spices, allowing you to use the spices you like best. I've used dill weed, coriander, thyme, onion powder, and basil. Whatever you choose to include, the mixture should amount to about 1/2 teaspoon.

To mix and store the dressing, I use a well-washed bottle that originally contained enchilada sauce.
