        <content>I am a novice to white balsamic vinegar.  Just bought a bottle today at Trader Joes.  Besides salad dressing, what can I do with it?  Suggestions welcome.</content>

      <content>I use it as the acid part of a Pavlova base instead of the traditional white wine vinegar.  </content>

      <content>I do several things with it 

1. Cut up a lot of fresh veggies and dress with olive oil and white balsamic
2. Grill fish then use the white balsamic to make a salsa combining pesto ,olive oil,and grape tomatoes </content>

      <content>Try this for a basic vinaigrette - 2 T white balsamic, 4-5 T good olive oil, pinch dried basil or oregano, 1 T dijon mustard, several shakes white pepper.  Place in jar, shake up to emulsify well, serve over a butter lettuce hearts of palm and sliced mushroom salad next to a chicken or pork entree.  Way yum.</content>

      <content>thank you all.  I have a ton of cherry tomatoes, so the salad idea or the salsa sounds good.  I haven't tasted it yet, so I'm looking forward to it.</content>
