The Balsamic Vinaigrette was wonderful. I used it to marinate some Portabella Mushrooms which I then grilled. I let the Mushrooms marinate for about 45 minutes and the flavor was just right.06/12/06

This recipe is great. I have made it several times now, with the vegetables it lists as well as whatever I have on hand. Everyone I make it for likes it.07/20/03
