Hi,
I made a pasta salad and added too much balsamic. Anyone know what I can add to fix this?
 
depending on the salad, you could maybe drain some off in a colander

or i just had a wacky idea - maybe a ride through a salad spinner? be gentle though

other than that, adding more ingredients (ala bob's idea) is prob the best way to go
 
Salad spinner will do it! (TheNoodleIncident - you beat me by 20 seconds!!! LOL!!)
 
Two things occur to me tha might or might not work??

I would be interesterd to hear what the expert cooks say about either possibility.

Add a little sugar to cover up the acid taste or add a little baking soda to neutralize some of the vinegar??
 
Yes sugar and salt fights acidity....but, balsamic is not a true vinager, one of the reason of its success is that there is already sugat inside. So you can't add sugar nor salt.
There is a tendency to use too much balsamic when it should be drops only.
