Alternatives to the Balsamic glaze.
While you can make the balsamic glaze as directed in the recipe above by cooking down the balsamic vinegar together with a small amount of honey or brown sugar until the mixture reduces by about half. Here are 2 other simple alternatives to the balsamic glaze:
Alternative # 1. Use High-Quality Aged Balsamic Vinegar Made in Italy
Aged balsamic vinegar is often sold in specialized stores or sections of foreign foods at some grocery stores. High-quality Italian-made aged balsamic vinegar is usually expensive but it does not need cooking down. Just use it as is. And, you don’t need to use much.
Alternative # 2. Combine Balsamic Vinegar and Olive oil
Combine ¼ cup of balsamic vinegar with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Whisk until emulsified. Drizzle the salad with this mixture.
