BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Flatbush — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 03:19:24 GMT

Tonite I made a small simple salad. I didn't have any salad dressing, and didn't feel like making one, so I poured a bit of B.V. on it and it was very good.

I am wondering what others do with this?

I love balsamic vinegar. I usually add olive oil and a pinch of brown sugar and pepper.

i always have multiple vinegars in the house. i also always have olive oil.

i do like to reduce the balsamic so it becomes a little syrupy.....so delicious on salads, meats, and vegetables.

I steam vegetables...like broccoli and carrots...and dribble a little balsamic vinegar over the top. I'm cutting down on caloris and sodium..this meets my needs and tastes good!

@Flatbush We eat a lot of Italian and Mediterranean food. We take the olive oil and add a lesser amount of balsamic vinegar to dip the breads in.

@Flatbush I treat myself to a very special balsamic vinegar on my salad and frequently on veggies...it is so worth it!

4% Grand Reserve Balsamic Vinegar by Nappa Valley Naturals

It can be found at Sprouts, Whole Foods, and on Amazon. I don't consume oil or dairy; so this really makes my salads special. ( Sorry for the fuzzy picture...but you'll find it in a glass bottle with a dark pink label on the front.) If you decide to buy, be sure it is the 4% Grand Reserve (they make another vinegar with a similar color label that is not the same). I always have it on hand! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

BV primarily for salads. But also when I roast vegetables, or when I put a beef roast in the crockpot. Depends on the vinegar flavor. My newest versions are Red Apple and also Orange. I used the orange last week when I baked chicken.

The ones in the grocery store do not compare with the ones I get at seasonstaproom.

Love a good balsamic. Good ones are

thick like syrup and sweet, a result of aging, like wine. I make my own dressing with balsamic, olive oil and some dipping seasoning whisked together. The seasoning is the spice mixture used to season olive oil for bread dipping. Works great.

Balsamic is used in a lot of salad dressings. There's a resturant across from work that makes wonderful homemade Balsamic Raspberry Vinegarette.

Do no care for Balsamic in a lot of dishes because of the sweetness. Same with brown sugar. But I do love all types of vinegar, and have many, but like Balsamic on fruits, such as strawberries and raspberries....Just a slight drizzle...
