The weather is so warm these days, you just want to have more refreshing dishes like salads and cold noodles. And salads I mean potato salad or fruit salad as some of you may know, I am not a big fan of vegetables. I try to avoid greens by all means. But I recently discovered roasted vegetables! I've been trying to roast all my veg nowadays and I think that's the only way I enjoy eating them. So here's a salad that has roasted veg, strawberries and balsamic glaze! I never knew strawberries taste so good with balsamic! YUM YUM! I used a balsamic glaze I bought from the food festival I went to last week.
Good stuff. The hint of truffle adds a really nice touch to the sauce. I've never had balsamic glaze before and this was my first time using this awesome sauce. Any ideas on what I can do with the rest of the bottle?

Elyse: Thanks for visiting! you have a wonderful blog with yummy recipes too!
yep, i sure thought you were talking about two separate dishes, but now that i think about it, the combination would be quite pleasant. it's a way to get me to eat broccoli, that's for sure. :)
I would have never thunk it to put strawberries with broccoli. But hey I need some way to suffer through broccoli and strawberries would definitely help! The glaze is a winner for me!
You are right though, my brother introduced me to roasted broccoli and I have never done it any other way since then.
would not have thought of pairing this with broccoli, but it looks delicious!
