Notes
- Substitute 1/4 cup apple cider or red wine vinegar plus 2 teaspoons xylitol or a dash of stevia for the balsamic vinegar for a low carb/keto/THM:S dressing
- The original recipe called for unseasoned rice vinegar but I use apple cider vinegar instead for its extra health benefits.
- You could use about 2 tablespoons dried basil instead of fresh basil.
- I use xylitol, vegetable glycerine, or a 1/32 teaspoon/dash stevia instead of honey for a low-carb/keto option.
