Summer Sensation: Strawberry Basil Balsamic Salad Recipe

Strawberry Basil Balsamic Salad

Today, I’m excited to share a refreshing and unique salad recipe that’s perfect for a sunny summer day. The combination of fresh strawberries, aromatic basil, and tangy balsamic dressing creates a flavor explosion that will leave your taste buds dancing.

Ingredients:

• 250g strawberries, sliced
• 20g fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 30ml balsamic vinegar
• 45ml olive oil
• 15ml honey
• 2g salt
• 2g black pepper

Kitchen tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• whisk

Start by slicing the fresh strawberries and chopping the basil leaves. In a mixing bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined.

Add the sliced strawberries and chopped basil to the dressing mixture. Gently toss everything together until the strawberries and basil are evenly coated with the balsamic dressing.

Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This will also help the strawberries release some of their juices, creating a delicious fruit-infused dressing.

Serve the strawberry basil balsamic salad in a beautiful bowl or on a plate. This salad is best enjoyed fresh and cold, straight from the refrigerator.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 347g, with 2 servings. Each serving weighs around 173.5g, with an estimated calorie count of 150 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese on top for an extra burst of savory flavor that complements the sweetness of the strawberries.

I hope you give this strawberry basil balsamic salad a try and enjoy the burst of fresh flavors it brings to your table. Feel free to customize it with your favorite nuts or seeds for added crunch. Bon appétit!
