Balsamic Glazed Strawberries

Strawberries are one of the tell-tale signs of early summer. They're plentiful at the farmers market, and they're plentiful in the Produce Department. If you haven't tasted the flavor of strawberry with reduced balsamic vinegar, prepare for a party for your taste buds. This dish is delicious served over vanilla ice cream or yogurt.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound romaine lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 cucumber, diced into 1/2-inch pieces (Only $0.99/lb at the Co-op)

  • 1 tomato, chopped

  • 3 scallions, diced

  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley

  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint

  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice (Lemons only $0.99/lb at the Co-op)

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (Shop the bulk aisle to reduce waste)

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • 1 pita bread, toasted and broken into bite-sized pieces

Preparation

  1. Thoroughly wash hands, utensils, and produce.

  2. In a large salad bowl, gently toss the romaine, cucumber, tomato, scallions, parsley and mint.

  3. In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and a pinch each of salt and black pepper. Toss the salad with some of the dressing, add the pita pieces and mix gently. Taste and add more dressing as needed.

Serving Suggestion

This traditional Middle Eastern salad goes well with many Mediterranean-inspired dishes, like lentil soup, lemon chicken, lamb dishes or kebabs. Add chunks of feta cheese or Kalamata olives to add more complex flavors and serve with lemon wedges.
