I've only tried the Kraft Balsamic dressing and it is really nice..but I was wondering if any of you have some salad dressing or any other type of recipes using balsamic vinegar that you could share with us?

Try boiling it down and reduce it to a syrup and then drizzle on grilled fish. That is what we had last night and it was delish! BTW, if you've ever had the blackened catfish at Coral Reef, that is how they do it - I got the recipe on allearsnet.com.

 

[Crokette]

Love it! yum!

 

[Lachesis00]

I have never had it any other way.

Love it - but I'm not totally addicted to it. i do love dipping some nice warm italian bread in some olive oil with a splash of balsamic though. Yummy!!

I had to come back to this thread because I previously posted that I hated it. But I tried it again last night and it was great!! For some reason I keep thinking about it and can't wait to go home to have some more. What is it about this stuff??

Ha ha! Now you're addicted too!

[lucas]

Love it! I make a balsamic salad dressing/marinade that everyone raves about. Even people who don't like balsamic love it.

Yum. Now I want a good salad with some sprinkled on it! Or some roasted asparagus with balsamic.

Ironically, today at work we celebrated with "Fat Friday" and this lady brought this delicious pasta salad. Everyone was asking her about it and she said the dressing was what made it. I am going to put it below. The pasta salad had penne pasta which she said she rinsed with cold water until it was cool, very thinly sliced zucchini, yellow squash, green peppers, artichoke hearts, chopped tomatoes (which she squeezed the seeds out), carrots (very thin) and this salad dressing which she tripled the recipe for. She said it is also really good to marinate chicken in the dressing and then grill. It really was good. I think mushrooms might be really good too. Those giant portabellas. YUMMY!!

Red Wine Balsamic Vinaigrette

2 tablespoons of red wine balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon shallots (diced)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ tsp. Dijon mustard
¼ tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. fresh ground black pepper

Mix shallots & red wine vinegar. Let marinate for 5 minutes.
Mix in remaining ingredients. Will keep in refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Enjoy!

Love it !

The easiest dip i do is just to add it to a jar of Jullienned sun dried tomatoes (the kind pack in a jar with an olive oil base). I also add it as an ingredient any time i am cooking beef in the crock pot.

I take the Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix, make it up with Basalmic (low oil version). Brown some chicken tenders (cut up breasts) with onion, pressed garlic, cracked pepper. When the chicken mixture is almost done, I add the dressing to it, lower heat to simmer, thicken if necessary. It is really good if you cook the onions till they are a little browned and sticking to the pan, then when you add the floured chicken it kinda sticks too. When you add the liquid you can lift up the particles. Younger DD begs for this with mashed potatoes. It's similar to the chicken medallions at Cheesecake Factory. THis is not the entire recipe, just a run down, btw.
