Base of a home made salad dressing. .

Olive oil and vinegar of your choice..  1 part vinegar to 2/3 parts oil.. shake or whisk  and voila.. add anything you want to it for other flavours.. chilli or garlic or mixed herbs or mustard .. add seasoning too..

Don't drench the salad ... toss it to ensure full coverage but don't drown it.. and don't add it until you are just about to serve or you'll wilt everything

Anythink off da shelf?

Newman's Own Balsamic Vinaigrette will fit the bill if you liked that ^^^ one.  

But how dew yew know i'll like it?

nah waste of money when it's so easy to make your own

I mix balsamic vinegar with Hellman's Mayonnaise to make it more zingy. Balsamic vinegar goes with a lot of things. 

I use it on my cricket bat.

For Balsamic vinegar I like this one with the #8 on the front:

Don't buy cheap Balsamic or the glaze variety.

I've never heard of Benenden sauce Cos, just clicked your link and my nearest supplier is 102.8 miles away, in Sleaford!  I love balsamic, a nice thick aged one and I agree, you certainly get what you pay for. I also buy a similar product from Turkey, but made from pomegranates, which I love. 

Well the one used in my salad was a clear oil thing

I could see a glaze kinda thing going on but no colour

You can buy both the Benenden Sauce and the Balsamic online.

Olive Oil and white wine vinegar would make a clear dressing, so perhaps that was all it was.  Or white Balsamic.  Or even garlic olive oil/flavoured olive oil?

white wine vinegar - oh crumbs

Loads of different vinegars on the market to try.....cider/sherry/fruit flavoured etc.  All good for salad dressing.

I eat a crunchy salad every weekday but never have dressing. Jalapeño sliced gives a bit of an extra bite.

Oak aged sherry vinegar on good quality vanilla ice cream and strawberries

Never tried that, but I like strawbs with balsamic. 

I tend to use sherry vinegar the most for my salads (no comment required thankyou!) and it's lovely with chorizo & garbanzo bean salad 

You're all making this stuff up aren't you? It all seems quite unlikely.

Bought it from the deli at HQ GJ.....it's lovely, honest And you'd love the pomegranate one from Turkey, get Mrs Jer to bring you some back next time she visits 

Where's your sense of adventure..!  

You could slather a stottie with it for your lunch tomorrow 

I think I will begin with a trip to Sainsburys and down the condiments aisle
