A delightful herb-infused balsamic vinaigrette that elevates any salad or dish.
Measure the olive oil and balsamic vinegar into a jar.
Use a jar with a tight-fitting lid to make mixing easier.
Add the thyme, basil, salt, and pepper to the jar.
Crush the fresh herbs slightly to release their flavors before adding.
Seal the jar and shake vigorously until the ingredients are well combined.
Shake for at least 30 seconds to ensure the oil and vinegar emulsify.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Add a pinch more salt or a splash of vinegar if the balance isn't quite right.
Serve the vinaigrette over your favorite salad or store it in the refrigerator.
Let the vinaigrette sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
