INGREDIENTS

2 cups sliced strawberries
2/3 cup red onion, small diced
3-1/3 cup cucumber, diced
1 Tbsp fresh basil (or to taste), chopped – (can also use mint)
Pink Himalayan salt & freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp “organic” Balsamic vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine strawberries, red onion and cucumber in a medium bowl. Season to your liking. Sprinkle with chopped basil.
In a small jar, add the olive oil and Balsamic vinegar and shake well. Drizzle two tablespoons on your serving of salad.
You will have a little dressing left over. It can be saved and used for other meals. You can leave oil and vinegar unrefrigerated for a few days. If you do refrigerate it, you will have to let it sit out for a while to soften the oil, as it will harden when cold.
