TASTE THE DIFFERENCE OF A REALLY GOOD OLIVE OIL
The right tasting salad dressing can make or break your fresh vegetable enjoyment so it is important that you use a good tasting, quality olive oil. Read the labels to identify if the oil is a first cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. You can really taste the difference, not the rancid flavor a lot of lower quality olive oils have. Press fresh garlic in the oil and drizzle it over salads and you'll never go back to premixed salad dressings again.
Here are a few excellent choices you can purchase locally:
Olive Oil: Krinos (IGA) Mastrodonato and Italissima (Capers Whole Foods)
Balsamic Vinegar: La Molisana (Capers Whole Foods) Lucini Italia (IGA) * note they can be expensive
(Have an olive oil or balsamic vinegar you love please add it to the comment box below)

When choosing a good quality balsamic vinegar look for 6-12 year aged. The taste is much more than just the acidic taste of vinegar. Mix it with a lovely olive oil and you'll be in flavour heaven.
