For a smoother consistency, whisk the ingredients together in a bowl instead of shaking. Experiment with different types of balsamic vinegar for varying levels of sweetness and complexity. If you don't have seasoned salt, use regular salt and a pinch of garlic powder and onion powder. Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme can be added for a burst of aroma and flavor. Finely chop and stir in before serving. A splash of lemon juice can brighten the flavors and add a touch of acidity.
