I simply can’t get enough of all the fresh berries this summer! I’ve made this Balsamic Berry Salad at least twice a week for the past month.

Fresh strawberries and blueberries are tossed in a light balsamic vinaigrette and then sprinkled with fresh basil to make this summery fruit salad.

I like to make this salad right before serving it. However, any leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for a day or two.

This salad is at its prettiest immediately after tossing it with the vinegar and oil. The berries will begin to soften after a few hours in the refrigerator. Still tasty, but not as nice for serving.
