Strawberry Cucumber Summer Salad


This is a beautiful summery combination: strawberries, english cucumber, fresh basil leaves and a vinaigrette made with white balsamic vinegar, honey and a dash of hazelnut oil. Her is the recipe:

1 cup of fresh strawberries, cut in bite-sized pieces
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and cubed
about 10 basil leaves, stacked, rolled and cut into thin slices

Vinaigrette:
4 TB white balsamic vinegar
1/2 TB honey
1 TB hazelnut oil
some fresh ground pepper

Cut the salad and mix gently. Pour all the ingredients into a jar with a lid, and shake well to mix. Pour over salad, and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Serve!
