It is so elementary that it may not even be considered a real recipe. Yet I have to share it with you because 3-Ingredient Almond Butter Balsamic Vinaigrette is refreshingly straight forward and surprisingly delicious.
The combination of its flavors creates a whole new level of taste sensation.
Flashback to a scene in the popular animated kids movie where an aspiring rodent chef tries to explain to his clueless brother how incorporating separate ingredients produces a whole new amalgamation of delight.
Thankfully you don’t have to be struck by lightning to produce 3-Ingredient Almond Butter Balsamic Vinaigrette.
No electricity is required, just blend it together by hand.
As you may have deduced from the title, two of the three components in this creation are Almond Butter and Balsamic Vinegar. The title gives no clue of the third element.
Let’s see if you can guess what it is. It is one-third of the concoction. It adds no color. It does not contribute to or alter the flavor. Yet it does enhance the texture.
I think you might have it by now. Yes, it is good ol’ H2O, A.K.A water.
The creamy nuttiness of the almond butter and the sweet tanginess of balsamic vinegar and the water blend so well together, you need nothing else.

I almost forgot to mention, it is also healthy!
You could even make your own almond butter if you like, but that is another recipe.

Can you substitute Cashew Butter instead of Almond Butter?
How do you prevent this from hardening in the fridge? I’ve made a few different variations of this, and it always becomes less dressing/more almond butter consistency after being refrigerated (so I have to add more water & mix any time I want to use again!)
Take it out of the fridge an hour or two before you plan to use it. It’s fine even if you leave it out for a day.Â
Yum
Outstanding! I can’t wait to make this, maybe even tonight!
Happy 2018!
