Since Richard and I went on a diet, we've been having a lot of salad to go with our grilled meals. The South Beach Diet (SBD) recommends balsamic vinaigrette dressing more than the cream-based ones so this is the one that I made from scratch.

What you need (from left): pepper and salt to taste, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil (evoo) and a few sprigs of thyme.

I'm doing it the Jamie Oliver way by putting all the ingredients together in a bottle.

Use equal amounts of evoo and balsamic vinegar...a

...and shake, shake, shake! You can actually just put all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk with a fork but using a bottle is more fun! Plus, you can easily pop it in the ref if you have any leftovers then shake again before serving.

Drizzled on a bed of greens.

We used the dressing on the grilled pork too and it was yummy!
The pork, by the way, was marinated in a mustard+olive oil+thyme+rosemary rub before grilling and it made the kitchen smell yummy-good.

I know it's probably the easiest salad to dressing to make but what the hey! It tastes great! Plus, if you made it from scratch, nothing can beat that!
