Hank’s White Spesso Balsamic Slaw

Hank’s White Spesso Balsamic Slaw


This is my first exposure to white spesso balsamic vinegar; I tasted and bought some from Rus Mitchell at the Pasadena Farmers Market (Cheese, Balsamic, Oils and Jams).  I thought it’s sweetness would be great for a slaw salad so this recipe is a case where the “tail wags the dog”.  Spesso is White Acidic Balsamic of Italian Trebbiano grapes with additional Must; it’s very sweet with a good acidic bite.  To add tanginess to the vinaigrette I blend some red wine vinegar. You can purchase an array of Balsamic vinegars at Rus’s website  “Uncle Berch”.

This time saving recipe works for a large group and it’s great for a self-serve buffet.  It’s similar to the cabbage topping I used for tostadas in a previous recipe  “Hank’s Fiesta Tostadas”.  Let’s get started……
