3/4      C water
1/4      C balsamic vinegar
3         tsp. capers
2         tsp. dijon mustard
1 1/2   tsp. dried basil
1         tbsp. fresh parsley - chopped (optional)

Combine the ingredients. Adjust vinegar to taste, since it has a
strong flavor. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Makes about 1 cup.

Note: If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you may substitute
another kind. But, if this be the case, start with water and
vinegar in equal proportions.
