Vinegar salad dressing with garlic is a true embodiment of French culinary art, where simplicity meets sophistication. Its history traces back to the traditions of French cuisine, where balance of flavors and refinement have always been in focus. The harmonious blend of balsamic and sherry vinegar gives the dressing a rich sweet-sour depth, while sea salt and freshly ground black pepper enhance its richness. Garlic adds a spicy zest, and extra virgin olive oil creates a velvety texture. This versatile dressing perfectly complements fresh leafy salads, adding an exquisite taste and highlighting the natural freshness of the ingredients. It can also be used not only for salads but as a marinade for vegetables or meat dishes, imparting French charm and elegance.
