Strawberries and Tomatoes

Strawberry and Tomato Salad

My favorite summer salads combine sweet and savory flavors. I am aware strawberries and tomatoes are both fruit, the cheese is what gives this salad a little kick.

I use equal portions of strawberries and cherry tomatoes, both halved. A sprinkling of Gorgonzola crumbles and some fresh basil. A little drizzle of good quality olive oil, a sprinkle of salt and it's good to go.

If I don't have Gorgonzola, a drizzle of a nice balsamic glaze would also taste great.

Strawberry Tomato Salad

Ingredients:

• Cherry Tomatoes, halved

• Strawberries, halved

• Gorgonzola crumbles

• fresh basil leaves, torn

• olive oil

• salt

Instructions:

The strawberries and cherry tomatoes should be similar in size and equal portions.

The Gorgonzola is to taste, and a little gives huge flavor.

Use a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.

An alternate option, and my favorite, is to omit the oil and use a drizzle of balsamic glaze instead.
