What is Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce?
Olive oil and balsamic sauce brings together fruity olive oil and the sharp, gently sweet flavour of balsamic vinegar. It is a simple dressing associated with Italian cooking, though the balance and thickness vary with the vinegar used.
Toss it through leafy salads, drizzle a little over roasted vegetables, or serve it alongside bread for dipping. In Mediterranean-style meals, it also works well with tomatoes and grilled vegetables. The sauce is mostly fat from the olive oil, with 38 g of fat per 100 g; balsamic vinegar contributes much of its tang and sweetness. For a lighter-tasting salad, whisk the sauce in a small bowl and add just enough to coat the leaves.

Frequently Asked Questions About Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce
What is Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce made of?
Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce is made from olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The two ingredients create a tangy, fruity dressing when whisked together. Some versions add mustard, herbs, or seasoning, but the classic sauce needs only the oil and vinegar.
How do you make Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce?
Whisk olive oil and balsamic vinegar together to make Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce. Mix them in a small bowl just before serving, or shake them in a sealed jar. Taste as you go so the vinegar does not overpower the dressing.
Can Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce be used as a bread dip?
Yes, Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce works well as a bread dip. Pour it onto a shallow plate and dip crusty bread just before eating. Stir or swirl the sauce again first, since the oil and vinegar naturally separate.
Why does Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce separate?
Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce separates because oil and vinegar do not stay mixed on their own. Separation is normal, not a sign that the sauce has gone bad. Whisk it again or shake it in a jar immediately before serving.
What salads go with Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce?
Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce pairs especially well with tomato, leafy greens, rocket, and mozzarella salads. Its acidity balances rich cheese and ripe vegetables. Add it shortly before serving so the greens do not wilt in the dressing.
Can you cook with Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce?
Yes, you can cook with Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce, but balsamic vinegar can darken and become sticky as it reduces. Add the sauce near the end of cooking or drizzle it over roasted vegetables after they come out of the oven.
How do you keep Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce from separating?
A small amount of mustard can help Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce stay blended longer. Whisk the mustard with the balsamic vinegar first, then gradually whisk in the olive oil. The sauce may still separate eventually, so remix it before serving.
Can Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce be used to marinate chicken?
Yes, Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce can flavor chicken as a marinade. Coat the chicken and keep it refrigerated while it marinates; discard any marinade that touched raw chicken, or bring it to a full boil before using it as a sauce.
What can replace Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce in a recipe?
A simple mix of olive oil and red wine vinegar can replace Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce in many dressings. The flavor will be less sweet and complex, so add a little sweetness if the recipe relies on balsamic vinegar’s characteristic taste.
Is Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce the same as balsamic glaze?
No, Olive Oil & Balsamic Sauce is not the same as balsamic glaze. The sauce combines olive oil with pourable balsamic vinegar, while glaze is a thicker, often sweeter reduction that is usually drizzled over food in a smaller amount.
