Photography by Olivia Hayo for Edible San Diego
Ingredients
SERVES 3–4
- 1 pint strawberries, tops removed, quartered lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze*
- ¼ cup toasted pine nuts
- Handful of basil leaves and flowers
Instructions
- *Pick up an aged balsamic vinegar at the farmers market or a balsamic glaze/creme at the grocery. Find one that is thick so it's ideal for drizzling—a little goes a long way.
- On a serving platter arrange strawberries, drizzle with balsamic, and sprinkle with pine nuts and basil.
- Serve as an appetizer, mixed into a salad, or as an unexpected dessert on its own or paired vanilla ice cream.
