This delicious recipe is perfect for a spring or summer lunch or appetizer. Feel free to substitute the lavender balsamic for an aged balsamic if you can’t find it. You can also omit the culinary lavender if you don’t have it. Of course it won’t be nearly as “fancy” but it will still be delicious. Enjoy!
