Here is the difference - Balsamic Vinaigrette - involves oil, sugar and seasonings to dark grape vinegar. Balsamic Vinegar - no fat ,or sugar, fewer calories, has more antioxidants. It is more of a dark grape vinegar much lighter and thinner.

The big difference is that Balsamic Vinegar is supposed to be healthier because Balsamic Vinaigrette contains oil and sugar and is considered less healthy. Vinaigrette also contains mustard and optional spices.

Any pre-made vinaigrette sold in stores will always add a lot of ingredients that are no so healthy for you. They put in a lot of sugar and other ingredients so it can stay on the shelf longer. If you want to make this on your own it is very simple. Follow your favorite vinaigrette recipe that you use all the time, but instead of using regular vinegar replace it with balsamic vinegar. That is what I do at home and it is delicious.

I use balsamic vinegar as a salad dressing all the time, with nothing added. I find that the slightly sweet flavor doesn't need anything at all.

Vinaigrettes are always an emulsion of oil and vinegar or another acid like lemon juice. It's a very common salad dressing and many people like the oil/vinegar mixture. It's just a question of preference.

A vinaigrette is a salad dressing regardless of the kind of vinegar used. All vinaigrette dressing are a mixture of an oil such as olive oil, an acid such as vinegar, usually dijon mustard (to make the dressing stay mixed), and seasonings. If you use just the vinegar, your salad will be so tart, it will not taste good.
