Fikenbalsamicoeddik

I was skeptical about fig vinegar but it's become my go-to for salad dressings, adding a subtle sweetness that cuts through the acidity nicely. It's thick enough to drizzle straight over a caprese without thinning out. Really glad I took a chance on this one.

Drizzled this over roasted butternut squash and it caramelized into this gorgeous glaze that made the whole kitchen smell incredible. The sweetness is balanced enough that I've even used it in a salad dressing without it being cloying. Versatile is the right word for it.

I keep a bottle in my fridge door and a quick drizzle over roasted butternut squash or even vanilla ice cream turns a plain dinner into something special. The sweetness is balanced enough that I don't feel like I'm eating dessert with my salad, and it's become my default for finishing pan sauces.
