GIVEAWAY CLOSED…Winner announced soon

I recently received a bottle of  NAKANO® Seasoned Rice Vinegar for my review. I had never heard about these seasoned rice vinegars before, but we really like marinating and grilling, so I was excited to give it a try.

I also received a little recipe booklet, and chose the Grilled Chicken Salad with Fresh Raspberry Dressing, to try. We love a great salad during the hot Summer months, and when you combine it with fresh fruit…even better!
