Okay, so I hate hate hate every vinegar on salad except for Balsamic..Its the only one i can actually tolerate..so i was just wondering..how come we cant have it?? I mean Cider vinegar is made from fruit? so why not balsamic allowed?

It's all about the carbs. 1 oz of balsamic, 5g. 1 oz of cider, 0g.

I miss balsamic too. One of most favorite snacks is warm fresh baguette slices dipped in a good balsamic and olive oil. I know I'll have it again someday but in moderation.

This was one of the first things my coach warned me about. She said balsamic vinegar has sugar in it. That is likely why so many people like it best. I love raspberry or blueberry balsamic but have learned to get used to some of the WF dressings.

yes, there is a reason chefs make a balsamic reduction and serve it with strawberries... higher calories and carbs than other vinegars.
