Chocolate Balsamic Vinaigrette

This vinaigrette goes well with an arugula based salad. For my salad I added pomegranate seeds, blueberry goat cheese, carrots, roasted pecans, and dried cherries. Once you make this keep it at room temperature. I only made enough for 2-3 servings so you may need to double the ingredients if you want more of the dressing.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup olive oil

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

1. Microwave the chocolate chips at 50% power for 1 minute and then 30 second intervals until melted. Stir until smooth.
2. Whisk in the vinegar and olive oil. Add the salt and pepper.
3. Serve the dressing on the side or drizzle over salads.
