Balsamic Strawberry, Basil, and Goat Cheese Bruschetta
If you've never had strawberries with balsamic vinegar before, it may sound a bit strange. But it really is a wonderful combination. The balsamic doesn't taste at all balsamic-y, but makes the strawberries taste sweeter and more complex. Those smart Italians have been drizzling balsamic vinegar over strawberries and vanilla gelato for ages. Yum!
If you make one thing this season, make this. It's that good.
