Fresh Mozzarella with Balsamic Strawberries



Strawberries are delicious when combined with aged balsamic vinegar. The vinegar brings out the natural sweetness in the berries. I relearned this classic Italian pairing while taking a food tour of Boston's North End. Our guide told us that Italians use aged balsamic vinegar to dress berries and fruit. 

For this recipe, the sweet and tangy balsamic berries are poured over soft and creamy mozzarella. The dish is finished with basil. It makes a lovely light lunch or an appealing appetizer.

I used local strawberries from my farmers' market for this recipe. Mild mozzarella cheese is perfect with the sweet and tangy sauce. It tastes like summertime on a plate.
