    There are many uses as you have seen! One of my favorite things to do with it is to marinate strawberries to put on a salad. I usually do mixed salad greens, the marinated strawberries, crumbled goat cheese, some kind of nuts and then a drizzle of balsamic vinegar & olive oil. The best thing is the strawberries don't have to be perfect, I actually do this a lot when I buy strawberries that aren't all that great!

    I take a pork tenderloin . I slice it in half, lengthwise (to make a sort of "sub sandwich" cut). I spread sundried tomato pesto in the center, and then drizzle balsamic vinegar liberally over the top. Sometimes I add fresh basil or rosemary to the top. Bake till 165 degrees or a little over.

    Delicious!

    I saute spinach in olive oil and garlic and then top with balsamic vinegar or put a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar on a plate and dip crusty bread in it. Lots of ways to use it.

    I make the following and use it on salads, meat, vegies: pretty much everything!

    2 cups balsamic vinegar
    1 cup ruby (red) port
    1 shallot
    4 garlic cloves

    Bring to a boil and boil down by 1/2 - keeps forever in the fridge! I put it in a squirt bottle because you don't need much!

    I made a salad dressing the other day using 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup of spicy mustard & 1/4 cup of sugar free maple syrup. I just mixed it in a tupperware bowl & put the lid on and shook it. I seperated it into 3 very decent size servings and it came out to about 45 cal per serving. It was surprisingly good!

    The only time I ever have balsamic vinegar is with oil on an onion and tomato salad...

    I make a Balsamic and Honey Glaze for my Salmon. Just heat glaze in small sauce pan, throw some salt and pepper on the Salmon, pour the glaze over the Salmon and cook in the oven at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes.

    I have a dish that I made up that everyone seems to love. No real name for it but it has become known among my friends as mediterranean pasta dish. I don't know the exact calorie count but it is very low in calories and easy to figure out. I cook to taste so I don't have exact measurements when I make it feeds 4 people

    2 chicken breast
    Whole wheat spiral pasta (enough for 4 people)
    1 bag of spinach
    Handful of sun dried tomatoes (as much or as little as you would like)
    1/3 cup feta
    Table spoon minced garlic
    olive oil
    Balsamic

    Steam or boil the chicken
    Saute the spinach in with about 3 table spoons of olive oil add minced garlic when spinach is tender (careful not to burn the garlic)
    Boil the whole wheat pasta to desired tenderness

    Chop up sun dried tomatoes and add the feta into large bowl
    Cut up chicken into bite size pieces and add to feta and tomatoes.
    Drizzle balsamic over mixture stir so chicken soaks in vinegar.

    Add spinach and garlic to mixture then pasta and stir.

    Balsamic is amazing! I love it with Roasted sweet potato or with a Sweet Potato mash, just a little bit drizzled over, heavenly!
