Simply Cherry Balsamic Fruit Salad
Far less syrupy and bland than standard fruit salads, this sweet-tart mixture will have your toes tingling!
Ingredients:
Zest of one large lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup aged balsamic vinegar
1 small watermelon
3 tart apples
1/2 pound fresh figs
1/2 pound cherries
1 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
Preparation:
Add lemon zest to the olive oil and let soak overnight. Add strawberries to the vinegar and let soak overnight.
Cut watermelon into 1/2 inch cubes. Cut apples in half and remove cores, then cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Cut figs in half. Pit cherries. Place all in a large glass bowl.
Pour lemon-infused oil over the fruit and toss. Add the vinegar mixture and toss again. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Garnish with walnuts before serving.
