Balsamic Vinaigrette
This is our flagship product with a truly loyal following. We only use ingredients you would use at home – olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, fresh garlic and a touch of salt and pepper. The vinaigrette is very versatile – not only does it make the simplest salad special – it also makes a wonderful sautéing sauce for fresh greens, a marinade for fish (our favorite is salmon) and a great dressing for sandwiches – particularly pita pockets or wraps. One of our favorite uses is to make what we call “leftover salads” – put salad greens in a bowl and then go foraging in the refrigerator. Chop up what you find. Add this along with a piece of fruit or some dried cranberries to the greens. Finish the salad with a drizzle of the dressing to bring all of the flavors together.
We hope you will use the dressing to make delicious, healthy meals in less time and with less fuss. And use it sparingly. I know the nutritional label says a serving size is two tablespoons (that’s the industry standard that must be used for labeling purposes) but two tablespoons would overwhelm a typical salad. Just remember, a little goes a long way.
Our Balsamic Vinaigrette comes in two sizes -- 500 ML (16.9 FL.OZ.) and 250 ML (8.46FL.OZ.)
Blueberry Balsamic Glaze
This is a delightful and sophisticated, fat-free dessert topping as well as a finishing glaze for meats and fish. We start with delicious (and antioxidant rich) blueberry juice and incorporate the tang of balsamic vinegar and the sweetness of maple syrup, port wine and brown sugar. We round out the flavor with cardamom and nutmeg for a truly unique flavor. Combined with our Balsamic Vinaigrette, it creates a slightly sweet and tangy salad dressing. For an extraordinary dessert, drizzle over your favorite ice cream, cheesecake, or fruit-based confection (I love it on apple pie with ice cream). As a wonderful glaze for meat, poultry and fish, brush it on during the last quarter of the total cooking time (it is unbelievably good brush on salmon as it grills). For amazing pan sauces, add the glaze to pan juices and reduce.
Our Blueberry Balsamic Glaze comes in the 250 ML (8.46FL.OZ.) size only.
Balsamic Marinade With Juniper and Rosemary
The flavors of juniper, rosemary, garlic and tamari combine to make this a truly outstanding marinade for almost anything you can roast or grill. With all these wonderful flavors, we have been able to keep the sodium content significantly lower than most commercially available marinades.
Although, this marinade was originally developed for lamb, it works extremely well as a marinade for all forms of meat and poultry (I prefer our Balsamic Vinaigrette for marinating fish). It even transforms the simple hamburger into a gourmet treat. With such a delightful flavor, the marinade can be used as a delicious finishing sauce for steamed vegetables. Try coating a medley of vegetables with the marinade and roasting them in a moderate oven, or use it sparingly as a salad dressing for heartier salads. Be sure to try our favorite recipe, Nancy’s Blueberry Balsamic Chicken. This pairs our Marinade with our Blueberry Balsamic Glaze for a true taste treat.
Our Balsamic Marinade comes in the 250 ML (8.46FL.OZ.) size only.
