This has got to be the most versatile dressing in the world. Vegetarians can skip the chicken broth altogether and add a squirt of lemon juice instead.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
3 tablespoons chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (optional)

1. Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, chicken broth, sugar, salt and pepper in a medium size bowl and whisk until well blended.
2. Cover and refrigerate.
3. Bring to room temperature and whisk well before using. Add freshly chopped basil last.

Makes 10 servings.

Cooking Tip: Use as a dressing on mixed greens, or as a marinate for fish, chicken or pork.
