Ultra Premium White Balsamic Vinaigrette

by Sigona's Farmers Market · Published January 11, 2023 · Updated February 14, 2024

It’s handy to have a basic vinaigrette recipe up your sleeve, not to mention one sitting in the fridge ready to dress a salad, add flavor to roasted or steamed veggies, a sandwich or even fish.

Ultra Premium White Balsamic Vinaigrette

We like this one as it doesn’t add a dark color to a light salad or protein as a traditional balsamic would.

You can add to this by using infused olive oils or changing up the herbs to whichever suit your palate!

Ingredients

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Sigona’s Fresh Press extra virgin olive oil Mix it up! Introduce another layer of flavor by using one of our infused oils, such as Garlic Oil, Meyer-Lemon Fusion Oil or Herbes de Provence Olive Oil.
1/4 to 1/3 cup Sigona’s ultra premium white balsamic start with 1/4 cup and add more if you want more zing (see below)
About 2 Tbsp honey such as Honey Hole Honey Co., raw, local, unfiltered honey, available only at Sigona’s
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
About 1/2 to 1 tsp. fresh minced or dried herbs and/or 1 clove garlic to taste (dill, Italian mix or basil are nice)

Instructions

Add all ingredients together in a jar with a lid. Shake until the mixture is emulsified (thickened) and ingredients are well incorporated. Use vinaigrette to dress a green or jar salad, toss with steamed or roasted vegetables or even drizzle over fresh fish or chicken. It’s also fantastic on sandwiches.

Carmelo Sigona emigrated in 1912 from Sicily, bringing with him the tradition of making his own wine. His grandson and namesake, Carmelo Sigona, co-owner of Sigona's Farmers Market, has fond memories of his grandfather making wine and serving it at family meals on Sundays. After years of wanting to make his own wine just like Grandpa Sigona, present-day Carmelo has finally made his dreams come true. Tune in for more.

Nothing is more rewarding to Rob Sigona, our passionate produce buyer, than taking a road trip to visit one of Sigona's favorite farmers. About a five hour drive from the Bay Area, nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills, is the town of Springville. There you will find a place seemingly untouched by time; a place called home to orange grower Ron Matik of Pleasant Oaks Ranch. Since 1984 Ron has grown some of the best heirloom navel oranges in the state, if not the world: the heirloom Washington Navel. "I have yet to taste an orange that is better than ours,” says Matik. “Maybe some with the same sweetness, but never better.” And Sigona's agrees! Heirloom Washington Navels are the variety that got the whole California citrus market booming all those years ago. It takes special attention from the farmer to tend to the soil and the variety to produce such outstanding fruit. "Small farmers, such as Ron, are a dwindling breed,” says Rob Sigona. “They’re passionate caretakers of the the land that produce exceptional quality; they are the rare gems." It is an achievement to find such great tasting oranges to bring in for our customers. We are excited to announce we’ll get a load of specially picked and packed heirloom Washington Navels in our store this week, delivered directly from Pleasant Oaks Ranch. So, come on by Sigona's to enjoy a slice of California’s prized history…for FREE! You can get a bag of free Pleasant Oaks Ranch oranges starting today through March 5th with your coupon when you spend $30 or more in the store.
