Ingredients
- ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar good quality
- 1 cup Mozzarella pearls extra mini
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup strawberries ripe, hulled and halved
- 1 large avocado semi-ripe, diced and sprinkled with lime juice
- ½ cup basil leaves torn to small pieces
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- Optional: honey roasted almonds chopped or slivered
Instructions
For the Balsamic Reduction
- In a small saucepan, add the balsamic vinegar and bring to a boil. Boil and stir 3-4 minutes or just until liquid is reduced by about half; should be thick and syrup-like.
- Transfer reduction to a small bowl and let cool to room temp.
For the Salad
- Hull strawberries and slice in half, halve cherry tomatoes, and dice avocado. Squeeze fresh lime juice over avocado cubes to keep fresh.
- When ready to serve, add all ingredients (except balsamic reduction) to a large platter or bowl, folding very gently with rubber spatula.
- Add kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, sprinkle with almonds if desired, and serve immediately.
