Balsamic syrup can be found at Trader Joe's, Costco, and many local markets.
There are endless variations that are possible with this recipe such as:
  • Use your favorite olives, cheese and herbs.
  • Instead of, or in addition to, olives, use capers and/or anchovies (including white ones).
  • Add Arugula or onions.  
You get the idea!
