Sometimes we’re so busy with the turkey and pies that we forget about the salad dressing. Instead of heading to the store, make your own balsamic vinaigrette. It’s a cinch to combine these ingredients in your Blendtec blender and keeps out chemicals and preservatives – that’s something everyone can get behind!
