Greetings from Martha from A Sense of Humor is Essential dropping in to share more deliciousness.
This incredibly easy, (two ingredients!!), and quite delectable combination of strawberries with balsamic vinegar, features the taste of umami.*
It makes a delightful dessert when served with ice cream, cream fraiche, or with cheese.
I enjoy it “straight up” with just the berries dipped in vinegar for a delicious and healthy treat. I hope you do too and thank you!
- Wash, hull, and slice or quarter fresh ripe strawberries, place in bowl.
- For each cup of sliced strawberries, add one to two tablespoons balsamic vinegar.
- Serve immediately.
- Strawberries can be prepared in advance, add vinegar just before serving
- Serve with ice cream, cream fraiche, or with assorted cheeses.
*Umami means savoriness and is derived from the Japanese word umami meaning “pleasant savory taste”.
Simplicity at it’s best!
interesting combination! i’ve got to try this…! 🙂
Thank you all so much for your comments, I hope you enjoy!
I’ve never tried it but I’ll have to now 🙂
I posted an article on umami laSt year, so I know what you are sayiing. The quality of the balsamic adds to that special flavour and I love it!
Great post.
