BALSAMIC DRESSING

2 cloves garlic, pressed
2 teaspoons crushed fennel seed

Cinderella's is the same recipe I use. Only I use a huge Tbsp of jarred minced garlic instead of chopping it myself, and I add some fresh ground mixed peppercorns, and a good squeeze of honey. I think the honey balances the tartness a bit.
I simply mix some minced onions(preferably a sweet onion such as a Vidalia) in with the balsamic vinegar and let it sit overnight to "pickle". If the vinegar is too strong, you can cut it with water to taste. Some folks like this with a dash of olive oil, but if oil is to be used, then add it after the overnight pickling or put the oil in a separate cruet to be mixed at the table. Otherwise, the oil will act as a barrier between the vinegar and onion flavors. (Note: This makes a great marinade as well as a salad topping.)
