This has WAY too much balsamic and way too much garlic. However, I give it 3 stars because it makes a good "concentrate" to mix with mayo for a pretty yummy dip (ratio 1 part dip to 2-3 parts mayo... taste until it's to your liking). I used to have a similar recipe that had about half as much garlic and about 1/2 cup balsamic... it's much better in a different proportion... now I just need to experiment and get it right. Thanks for giving a good set of ingredients that I know will be fabulous once I can figure out the correct ratios. Honestly , with the current ratios it was a true pucker moment for everyone that tried it... and no one came back for more. I have enough "concentrate" to last months.
