The Perfect Marriage

Every once in a while savory food and sweet food collide in a head on collision at the corner of Delicious and Fucking Awesome in the center of Tastytown.  If you Google Street View it you'll find me standing on the corner with a fork in each hand and a bottle of rosé in my camel pack.

OK, let's do this:

Strawberry Balsamic Salad
makes 2 servings
total time 5 min

4-6 strawberries, sliced
2 T balsamic vinegar
1 handful toasted almonds
2 large handfuls of arugula
2 T goat cheese, crumbled
1 T ish olive oil
cracked black pepper

Heat the balsamic and strawberries in a pan and gently simmer for 3-4 minutes.  Pour into a bowl and cool in the freezer while you prep the other stuff.

Toast the almonds in a dry pan over med-high heat.  This will only take about 45 seconds. Remove from heat immediately.

Place the arugula on the plates, sprinkle with goat cheese, almonds and olive oil.  Next drizzle with the strawberries and balsamic and add some cracked black pepper.  Enjoy your stay in Tastytown.
