Woah. That’s a pretty badass fruit salad. A little out of my comfort zone, but amazing looking!
espresso-flavored balsamic vinegar – wow, that sounds intriguing.
beautiful mouth-watering photo!
Thanks! The espresso flavored balsamic is subtle, not over-powering at all.
Wow – this is super interesting and yummy-looking. Where did you get espresso-flavored balsamic?
There’s a locally-owned shop where I live that makes it. I would think that a specialty kitchen/food store would carry something like it. Any flavored balsamic vinegar would probably work too.
