We really enjoyed this! I cut back the vinegar to 3 T to start and that was perfect for my taste buds. My balsamic was oregano and basil flavored which worked well in this recipe. I did add an extra Tbsp of mayo to thicken it up a bit. Served over a salad of romaine, cukes, tomato and shredded Italian blend cheese. I used mine only about an hour after making it, so I am sure it will be even better tomorrow. Thanks for posting!

DH liked this dressing bur unfortunately it didnt work well for me. His vote won so we will go with the higher rating. :) I didnt think the ingredients worked to well together and the balsamic was a little overpowering for me. Made a simple salad with romaine salad mix, tomatoes, and cucumbers then added the dressing and DH added more to his salad. Very easy to make! Made and reviewed for Kittencal's Recipe Tag Game,

Loved this! I adore vinegar, and although not to vinegary to me, it had a bit of tartness. The honey smoothed the whole taste out, and it was perfect on arugula and spinach. I made the previous day, and this tasted like perfection today. I used a white balsamic vinegar, and I particularly loved the garlic and the light mayo (Hellman's). So I had a simple and lovely salad this afternoon! Made for *Everyday is a Holiday* April 2010

This dressing was just okay for me. I thought that the balsamic was rather strong in this and I usually really enjoy this ingredient. The buttermilk is creamy but the balsamic is tangy and I felt like they were fighting for my tastbuds rather than complimenting each other.
