Rosie, this recipe calls for white balsamic vinegar, which is a much milder vinegar. It is really good, I find it at Trader Joe's.

My garden is bursting with cucumbers, this looks like a great way to use some up!

Arabella,does the white have a sweetish taste?I think the "sweetness"of balsamic is what I object to.
 I`m a real sour puss.Lol.

 The cukes in my garden are little bity things.But it won`t be long.Can`t wait.

Thank you for the info.Wish we had a Trader Joes somewhere in our area.

As Janie said, the white balsamic does not have that sticky sweetness that the regular balsamic has. It just has a hint. I love it in a traditional vinegarette. I originally bought it for a recipe I tried from the board (what a surprise, huh?) and started using it in other ways since it was in my pantry.
