Notes,Tips & Add-on's
- You can add any veggies of your choice according to your taste buds. Choices like Brussels ,carrots go well with this salad.
- Pineapple and paneer tastes great with balsamic vinegar and hence I have used them in my salad. Off course, paneer is a great source of protein too and pineapple provides the additional sweetness and 'tanginess' that tastes great with balsamic vinegar.
- You can use strawberries,olives or any toppings for your salad.
- You can also add feta cheese, they taste great with balsamic vinegar.
