About White balsamic vinaigrette

White balsamic vinaigrette is a light and tangy salad dressing originating from Italian cuisine, made using white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and seasonings such as mustard, garlic, or herbs. White balsamic vinegar is typically derived from younger Trebbiano grapes, which are cooked under pressure to retain a pale color and mild flavor. This vinaigrette is generally low in calories and fats—depending on the olive oil used—and adds a delicate sweetness to salads and dishes. It can also provide a modest amount of healthy monounsaturated fats from olive oil, along with trace minerals like potassium and manganese.

Health Benefits

• Provides monounsaturated fats from olive oil, which support heart health and may help improve cholesterol levels.
• Contains small amounts of potassium, aiding in muscle function and maintaining proper electrolyte balance.
• Offers antioxidants like polyphenols from olive oil and grape-based vinegar, which may help reduce inflammation and protect cells from damage.
