It’s a very clean and light salad that has no guilt, but all the flavour with a delicious white balsamic vinaigrette dressing that ties it all together!

Tips and Frequently Asked Questions

Read on for tips and substitution ideas on how to make this recipe, and how to avoid making it a disaster.

What is the difference between balsamic vinegar and white balsamic?

While the traditional balsamic vinegar is cooked and concentrated on producing a rich flavor with a deep and dark color, the white balsamic vinegar is cooked at high pressure to prevent caramelization, giving it a golden color and a gentler flavour.

Substitutions

  • This salad can be made vegan by removing the feta and honey. 
  • For the vinaigrette, you can either use red wine vinegar or rose balsamic vinegar instead of the white balsamic vinegar.

How to store the leftover salad dressing

This recipe makes a little over 1 cup of dressing. If you have leftovers, the dressing stores well in the refrigerator for 1 week in a mason jar with the lid tightly on it.
