Salad dressing basics

The white variety is far milder, but still very flavorful. Unless you find a nice deal it can be pricey. The first time I bought it specifically for a recipe the 6.5 oz bottle was over $8. That was before Himself was laid off. Now I get a perfectly decent 12 oz one at Trader Joe's for around, maybe $3.50? Don't notice a big difference in flavor, but oh the price!

Even milder? The main problem with the balsamic in the vinaigrette was that it didn't have enough oomph. And no Trader Joe's in Canada, yet.

Maybe milder wasn't the right word, since neither balsamic has a "bite" to me taxy. Maybe smoother? Not as strong? Less flavorful? Maybe I have a different balsamic vinegar than you do? I use a cheaper version because, well, I'm cheap!
