Its acidity kills bacteria, making it a natural preservative long before refrigeration. Brighten Up Salads! Mix olive oil, balsamic or red wine vinegar, mustard, and honey to create a classic vinaigrette. Try rice vinegar in Asian-style salads with sesame oil and soy sauce. Vinegar tenderizes the meat and infuses flavor. Balsamic vinegar + strawberries + a touch of black pepper = an unexpectedly delightful dessert.
