- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Instructions

Recipe Notes
Try using good quality balsamic vinegar like a kind from the Modena or Reggio Emilia regions. We use a balsamic vinegar from Modena that we get at out local club store and it’s so much better than regular balsamic vinegar! It’s deliciously sweet and thicker than most of the balsamic vinegars that you find in the grocery store that aren’t from those regions. Not balsamic glaze, just a good quality balsamic vinegar that shouldn’t cost you much more than you’re used to paying, just knowing which ones to buy is the trick!
