Equipment
- A small whisk (or other utensil)
Ingredients
- 4 oz mild oil like avocado oil
- 2 oz balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Measure out the balsmaic vinegar and oil into a measuring cup (or other container).
- Measure out the kosher salt and ground black pepper and add that into the cup as well.
- Use a small whisk or other utensil to combine everything together.
Notes
- If you find that the oil and vinegar aren't wanting to mix though, you can pour the marinade into a small mason jar, put a lid on top, and shake it until they are combined.
- You can use the marinade immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- When refrigerated the contents may separate, so let the marinade come up to room temperature then shake the container to recombine.
- When marinating the veggies, pour the marinade over them, mix with your hands to ensure they're coated, then marinate for 30 minutes. Grill them according to your preference and the thickness and tenderness of the vegetable.
- When putting the veggies on the grill, reserve the used marinade in a dish. After you take the veggies off the grill you can brush the used marinade onto the veggies for additional flavor.
