I just use 6% acidic balsamic & it came out a-m-a-z-i-n-g! 


Barefoot Dressing
Ingredients


*1 and ¼ cups low acid balsamic vinegar
*¼ cup unsweetened rice vinegar
*¾ cup lime juice, add zest if using fresh
*5 unsweetened pear halves (canned)
*1 cup nutritional yeast
*½ cup of salt-free stone-ground mustard (or your favorite low-sodium Dijon mustard)
*¼ cup of shallots, about an ounce
*4 cloves of garlic (about ½ an ounce)
*½ Tablespoon chia seeds dissolved in ½ cup of water or the unsweetened pear juice from the can or jar.


Steps
*Dissolve chia seeds in the water or unsweetened pear juice.
*Place remaining ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
*Add chia seed slurry and blend again.
*Refrigerate.


Notes
Author prefers using a 4% acidity vinegar like Napa Valley Naturals Grand Reserve, which is thick and syrupy, as opposed to a traditional less sweet balsamic, which has 6% acidity.
