1 cup slices Strawberries (cut into slices)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
1 avocado(s) Avocado (pitted, diced)
1/3 cup Basil, fresh (chiffonade (ribbon) cut)
1/3 cup Balsamic vinegar

Instructions


1. To make the balsamic reduction, bring the balsamic vinegar to a simmer over medium heat in a small saucepan. Once the vinegar starts to simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 6 to 10 minutes, uncovered, until the vinegar thickens, and reduces in volume by half. Set aside.

2. Meanwhile, add the strawberries, tomatoes, avocado, and basil into a large shallow bowl.

3. Drizzle on oil and gently toss until ingredients are coated. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss again just briefly.

4. Sprinkle on sesame seeds (or favourite nuts). Once cooled, drizzle on balsamic reduction and toss.

5. Serve immediately.
