The "Nutrition Facts" did not include the carb count for balsamic vinegar. It's 3 carbs per 1 Tbs. 1 Tbs of Vinegarette doesn't go very far and 6+ carbs are just too many for me to waste on salad, lol. If you used a seasoned rice vinegar it would cut the carbs in half at 1.5 per Tbs. The best choice is an organic, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar available at a health food store. It has 0 carbs and is really good for you!

I can't have balsamic vinegar on my low carb diet, Ideal Protein plan, but is there a balsamic vinegar I'd be able to use since your recipe still calls for it.

Balsamic is my favorite because it gives me that sweet tang I miss from dressings that aren't low carb. Just be careful if you are counting carbs as one tablespoon usually isn't enough and 2 tablespoons is 6-7 carbs which is a huge chunk of your carbs in the beginning phase. Hold this recipe for when you can consume at least 30 so you have some wiggle room.

This is very tasty. I made it without the Splenda or any kind of sweetener, and it was delicious. I usually just have lemon juice, olive oil, and S&P as my dressing, but was in the mood for a change. This is a keeper!

This was so quick to throw together and so good on a salad. I served it with recipe #371832 and it complemented the salad perfectly. Thanks Barb Gertz for a nice winner.
