This is an easy and very flavorful recipe to use with any of our Belindora vinegars. Whether your favorite fruit infused vinegar is the Champagne Pear, Pomegranate Balsamic, or Fig Balsamic, this recipe will help showcase the vinegar’s flavor in a healthy and delicious way.
Add any type of cheese you like, but we suggest gorgonzola cheese, or if you want something less pungent, goat cheese works really well.
Chicken and Mix Greens with Vinegar Glaze
4 Boneless Chicken Breast
1 tsp. Butter
3 tbsp. Olive Oil
1/3 cup Champagne Pear Vinegar (you can also use other flavored balsamic)
½ lg. Red Onion thinly sliced
Mix salad greens or fresh Spinach
Gorgonzola cheese (enough to top salad greens)
Pecans, Walnuts, or Almonds (optional)
Thoroughly rinse and dry salad greens. Place on plates, top with cheese, and put in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Using moderate heat put olive oil and butter in a large skillet. When butter is melted, add sliced onion, and salt slightly to bring up their flavor. Cook onions until slightly transparent. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add to onions. Sauté until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove from pan set aside.
Bring heat to medium, add Champagne Pear Vinegar, and stir until it reduces and thickens. Place chicken breast into vinegar reduction, turning to coat both sides.
Retrieve salad plates from the fridge, top with sliced chicken breast, dress with vinegar reduction, and serve with a hearty roll.
This is one of our favorite quick and easy ways to eat salad, and we hope you agree! If you already have one of our smoked salts at home, sprinkle just a little over the salad for a nice added touch, especially if you are adding avocados or tomatoes. Enjoy!

4. We’re firm believers in sustainable farming and fair trade agriculture. We only deal with suppliers who adhere to these concepts, and we go to the source whenever possible. Additionally, because we deal with the source, whenever we’re looking for something yummy we can’t find anywhere, we have it custom made for our house brands.
For our final day of flavor, we are pulling out the big guns! We have two Mexican inspired rubs that have been a favorite of ours and our customers, and have won awards in cook-offs across the country. Both of these rubs were created in our kitchen at VSpicery because we were always disappointed with the taco and chili seasonings we found at other stores, so we decided to make our own blends, and now we can’t use anything else.
We have some fabulous herbal infused olive oils from France that are out of this world with flavor. A favorite of our regular customers, L’Olivier infused oils are requested year-round, so we really try to keep them on the shelves. We carry three awesome flavors for you to choose from with Basil, Garlic & Thyme, and Herbs de Provence infusions.
We carry a line of flavored Bellindora vinegars from Napa Valley, California, that are packed with flavor and can be used various ways to give new dimension to your dishes. Three of the flavors begin with a balsamic vinegar base (apple, fig and pomegranate) and one that begins with a champagne vinegar (champagne pear), and are then infused with fruit flavor. You can come to our shop in Tampa, or one of the markets that we attend to sample one or all varieties to find your favorite.
