  5. Sprinkle finely chopped parsley over the salad for a fresh burst of flavor.

Step 2: Prepare the Salad Dressing

  1. In a Mason jar, combine balsamic vinegar, mustard, finely chopped garlic cloves, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Seal the jar and shake well to combine the dressing ingredients.

Step 3: Drizzle and Serve
