The homemade balsamic vinaigrette pairs with the sweet tomatoes and the bite of the pickled onions perfectly. This post is sponsored by Ball Canning however all projects and opinions are my own.Lets start by talking about those pickled onions! This was a recipe I created for Ball a few weeks back. I was able to let them marinate in that vinegar for about 2 1/2 weeks before diving in. And boy were they amazing! They are the perfect addition to this tomato salad recipe. Make yourself a few jars of these and keep them on hand for this recipe and other salads as well"
