This dish is so incredibly easy and sophisticated at the same time. It's vibrant in color and layered with flavor. Be sure to use a high quality balsamic vinegar, one that has a mild tartness rather than a strong acidity. When looking at the ingredient list, look for grape must, tradizionale. Cheaper vinegars will be combined with other vinegar, flavorings and other ingredients.
