We loved this dish and the balsamic vinegar used in it. We fought over the other half of the sauce used for dipping. I did not have shallots so I used a sweet onion. Also no grape tomatoes so I halved a whole and took out the seeds so it would not be so juicy. I'll be making this one again thank you for posting. I made this for the Spring PAC 2007 game.
