[LorraineM]

So far I have only added to to stuff, like the sw bbq sauce, but I wondered what else you guys used balsamic on???

I make a thing with a tin of tuna and tinned mixed bean salad, and put loads of the stuff into that (woth some red peppers too) ans it tastes brilliant!! I use it to roast veg with, with frylight, and instead of malt vinegar on wedges / sw chips too.

It tastes great as a free salad dressing.

 

[mia_angel]

I always use it in my salads

 

[SlimmingKitchen]

I like it over my salad and new potatoes x

 

[Paula Pudding]

Lovely on pasta
Think I'm going to make lasagne tomorrow and have with salad and balsamic all over x x

tomato and basil salad - slice tomato on a plate, sprinkle pinch of salt over, shred some basil leaves and confetti over, get a tsp of balsamic and drip over, trying to get a drip on each bit of tomato (Do not try and drizzle free style if you are at all clumsy like me - we had to rinse the tomatoes once after a hefty glug)

Grated cooked beetroot and raw carrot, splash of balsamic

On roasted Mediterranean veg (tomato, onion, red / yellow peppers, courgette, garlic cloves, mushrooms) - make double for dinner, put half in a tupperware with a splash or two of balsamic, and a dash of olive oil if you can spare the syns. Next day toss through couscous... or have with a HEXB pitta and hummous... (regretting now that I have planned a Red week....)

If u reduce it in a pan it goes sticky and tastes GORGEOUS over beef fillets! Careful it could get too thick. Keep an eye on it.

Over a rice salad

I'm another one who uses it as a salad dressing

I took a tip from someone on minimins the other day & washed out an old fry light bottle & put my balsamic vinegar in it. Perfect for covering your salad without drenching it

hi, is this just balsamic on its own, do you add anything to it or just reduce it on its own?

 

[MommyNOriana]

Just on its own. Make sure its a good quality tho.

 

[MommyNOriana]

Now I'm second guessing myself. Let me double check!!

 

[MommyNOriana]

Ok yes. Just reduce the vinegar. Make sure u whisk it while reducing! It will burn because of the sugar content. Reduce it by half. It will have a syrup like quality to it. SO SO GOOD!

 

[lizzielipps]

is it sin free???

 

[MommyNOriana]

Tbh I'm not sure!!

 

[MommyNOriana]

I'm going to say yes. Just because its 20 Cal per tbsp. Most people don't use that much. But when u reduce it by half I would def say that 1 tbsp is at least 1 syn. What's ur opinion?

 

[suelou]

I use it on risotto instead of cheese.
