Notes

To make your own balsamic reduction (balsamic glaze): Combine 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon honey or sugar to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce and simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes or until the sauce coats the back of the spoon. Allow it to cool before adding to the salad.
