Your pasta salad looks fantastic and the white balsamic vinegar sounds great. Never heard of it.

Cool huh! White balsamic vinegar is a little more mellow than the traditional kind and kind of resembles champagne vinegar. I like it because you get a similar taste of regular balsamic, but the presentation is prettier since it’s not black!

Hey, I had no idea that white balsamic vinegar existed. Is the flavor the same or similar?
