DDS Detective: Strawberry balsamic sundae
I love unexpected combinations, like chocolate and chili peppers or jalapenos and pineapple on pizza (just try it — trust me). One such combo that has always intrigued me the most is the marriage of balsamic vinegar and fruit — specifically, strawberries. Most of us know balsamic vinegar as a dip for bread or a dressing on salad, but in reality, its potential extends much further. Case in point: this week’s DDS Detective, a strawberry balsamic sundae: luxurious, creamy, tart and with just a hint of sweetness.
- At Collis, get a few strawberries from the smoothie bar and put some squeezes of honey and a bit of balsamic vinegar on top.
- Grab a pot of plain Greek yogurt.
- Stick the strawberries in the microwave for about a minute and a half.
- Take the strawberries out of the microwave, and put them on top of the yogurt.
- Mix well, and add more sugar or honey to taste.
