"I've used different brands of cherry balsamic vinegar and they seem to have varying levels of sweetness. If you want a sweeter dressing, add the honey (or whatever sweetener you prefer). I don't always add feta (depends on which picky eater is at the table). I've added bacon before, and that went well, but I didn't include it in the ingredients."
