Good base recipe for dressing, five star worthy once some garlic and oregano are added. Whole family enjoyed this one not only as a dressing but also used as a dip for slices of sourdough bread. thanks for sharing!

An uncomplicated and quick to make salad dressing that has very good flavor despite having so few ingredients. I used good quality balsamic vinegar so I only needed 2/3 of the requested amount of brown sugar.

I've pretty much stopped buying salad dressing, because I use this recipe exclusively. I leave out the lemon pepper- there's already lemon juice- and I throw in a pinch of red pepper flakes for a small zip. I've also tried it with a hint of garlic, but either way, the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and lemon juice are all you need for the best dressing. Thanks for sharing, Laura!

added more olive oil and a little yellow mustard. Honey measurement was spot on.

I loved this recipe! I did substitute kraft FAT FREE zesty Italian salad dressing for the oil. I just couldn't bring myself to eat that much oil, but even with the substitution it was fabulous! I ate it on a spring mix green salad and poured it over roasted red potatoes, yummy!

I recently went to a restaurant and was served a delicious homemade balsamic dressing with my salad. The server told me the secret ingredient was the brown sugar. This recipe tastes just like the restaurant dressing I had. It's sooo good. I used sunflower oil instead of olive oil and cane sugar instead of brown sugar because its what I had on hand. Thanks for submitting this recipe!!
