Can you help me figure out proportions?

sweetie darling:
Had a delicious store-bought Kale Salad. Kale, apples, dried cherries, walnut pcs

Dressing ingredients from label:

White balsamic - 2 T
Apple cider vinegar - 1 T
Brown sugar - 2 T
Dijon mustard - ~1 t
S&P

The qtys above are what I already tried for a test batch ... still seems too "bitey"

Ideas?

nadra24:
Add some vegetable oil.  Most vinaigrettes are a 2:1 ratio of oil to vinegar, but you could start with a 1:1 ratio and go from there.

Run Amok:
No oil? I'd add oil. Salt can also cut the acid.

sweetie darling:
Thanks ... I was thinking of adding oil, but none was listed in the ingredients and the salad didn't have a slick feel.
Maybe I'll try salt first.

Thx.

nadra24:
If you don't want to add oil and the salt doesn't work, maybe decrease the amount of apple cider vinegar.  Balsamic tends to be a little more mild than ACV.
