    I didn't use the full amount of balsamic vinegar...I just added it slowly until the flavor was the way we like it. The honey was a nice touch...will be using this again! Thanks!

    Love this salad dressing. It is simple to make and we love the flavour. I have used a lighter olive oil, but prefer the regular olive oil for richness. I haven't always chilled it for minimum 2 hours before using because that would involve planning and organizational skills which I lack some days. None the less, terrific under 2 hr chilling and terrific over 2 hrs.
