Balsamic and strawberries are a classic combinations flavor. I remember have remembered and will never forget that taste when I first time taste these two on my friend’s home. I got the recipe from him and now this is one my favorite salad recipes.
I often tried the different thing with this recipe like balsamic vinegar with fruit in the salad also with peach, watermelon, and even raspberries but the original one has its own iconic taste and can’t beat any other. Try this in your kitchen I hope you will love it.
