Outstanding

Here we provide the exception to our picnic rule #1--the soupy sauce on this salad is irresistible, especially with angel-food cake "dunkers."

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup)

Ingredients

  • 1/4  cup  half-and-half
  • 2  tablespoons  white balsamic vinegar
  • 1  tablespoon  sugar
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 3  peeled kiwifruit, each cut into 6 wedges
  • 2  cups  quartered strawberries (about 1 pint)
  • 2  tablespoons  finely chopped fresh basil

Preparation

Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl. Add kiwifruit and strawberries; toss well. Cover and chill for 1 hour. Stir in basil just before serving.

This is sooo good. My daughter and I made this tonight, to take to our knitting group, with pieces of angel food cake. They all loved it. We hardly brought any home! We all thought it was delicious, with the angel food cake. I would definitely make again! Since we were going to share with a group, we cut up the fruits in smaller pieces, so they would go further. If I was just making it for our family of 4, I would probably leave the pieces bigger.05/28/09

Based on some other reviews I paired this with angel food cake but I thought it was an odd combination. The fruit would be better alone or on top of greens. The flavor of the fruit and the balsamic was really good together and topping it off with basil is a fantastic combination. I just couldn't get past the awkward taste of the salad with the cake. Try it alone and you will love it.04/14/09
