This was really simple to make and every bite tasted different. I like that the dressing is made with balsamic vinegar (I used white balsamic) so that there is a touch of sweetness so no added sugar is needed. This was just a perfect combination. I thought the amount of dressing sounded like too little so I made extra. I was wrong, so now I have extra dressing for a tossed salad or a marinade.
