Tips and Tricks
- When adding the balsamic vinegar or reduction, consider using a squeeze bottle or a fork for a more controlled and artistic drizzle over the salad.
- To keep everything fresh and prevent any sogginess, assemble the salad just before serving.
- This way, the basil remains vibrant, and the strawberries don’t release too much juice before it’s time to eat.
