Fruit Salad
Fresh fruit is one of my favorite snacks. Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa, is a favorite chef of mine. These two together = perfect fruit salad. Please do not be shocked when you read the ingredient – balsamic vinegar..what?..why? Trust me, it works! I used a little less sugar and left out the mint, but it is just as tasty! Enjoy for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack.

Ina Garten always has the best recipes! When cooking mushrooms, I usually put a big splash of balsamic vinegar in, and my husband loves it. I will have to try it on berries too. Thanks for sharing!
I haven’t used it with any other recipe…I need to find some more :)
Yum! I just picked an entire bucket full of our blueberries yesterday…will have to try this!

Hey Jen! Thanks for commenting on my laundry room reveal…I appreciate it!
We love balsamic vinegar in our house and we’ve had it in desserts before, so I don’t think it’s weird at all. :) I have a bunch of fresh berries in the fridge, so I’ll have to try this one later. (not tonight though, we have tiramasu in the fridge too!) lol
Have a great weekend
