Nutrition Tip:
"Balsamic vinegar adds a tangy robust flavor to a traditional holiday vegetable recipes. Use it in salad dressings, pastas, sauces, and vegetables. Try it in a tuna salad instead of mayonnaise or Italian bread instead of butter. Balsamic vinegar is becoming more popular and is now available in your grocery stores."
