Recipe Notes
This recipe uses Frescolio's Lime Infused EVOO and Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar. You could also use the following for a different taste:
- Cilantro and Onion Infused EVOO
- Cayenne Agrumato EVOO
- Condimento Bianco White Balsamic
- Grilled Lemon White Balsamic
Please note: since all of our balsamics contain a small percentage of wine vinegar, we cannot guarantee that they are all being sourced from a vegan wine filtration process. The same goes for our wine vinegars (our Apple Cider Vinegar is the only vinegar we carry that does not contain wine vinegar, making it certifiably vegan). As such, our balsamics and wine vinegars may not be suitable for vegans. All of our oils, excluding the Bacon Infused EVOO, are suitable for vegans.
