For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or mint before serving. If you don't have aged balsamic, a touch of honey or maple syrup can be added to regular balsamic vinegar to enhance its sweetness. Serve chilled as a light lunch, a vibrant side dish, or a refreshing appetizer.
