Gluten Free Salad Dressing for Asian/Chinese Chicken Salad

Little by little I am attempting to remove all soy from my diet. The one thing that I am still working on is converting some recipes to soy free. Therefore, for this Asian gluten free salad dressing recipe, often known as Chinese chicken salad, I chose to use balsamic vinegar instead of rice vinegar and soy sauce. I also used agave syrup to make it lower in effecting glycemic index levels. Enjoy!

UPDATE: Since I published this blog post, I have created a Soy Free Soy Sauce substitute. Check it out!
