Notes

Garlic.Fresh minced garlic is a terrific addition to the No Oil Balsamic Salad Dressing. It gives a hit of flavor and blends well with the other ingredients.
Oregano.This spice is very pungent and earthy, which is perfect if you want this dressing to have a flavor that leans toward Italian dressing.
Crushed Red Pepper.Add some heat to this dressing with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Lemon juice.This adds bright, citrusy notes to your salad dressing and can be a flavorful add-in. Just be careful to balance this tangy fruit juice with the already tangy balsamic.
Fresh/dried herbs.You can use so many different herbs in this balsamic dressing, such as basil, dill, rosemary, sage, and so many more. See what flavors you like best.
