Photo: Strawberry Salad With Balsamic-Cardamom Dressing Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey
- Miniscule pinch of ground cardamom (It's strong stuff!)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 pint blackberries
- 1 large sprig mint, leaves roughly torn
Directions
Whisk the balsamic vinegar, agave nectar, cardamom, a pinch of salt and a few generous grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
Tumble in the strawberries and blackberries, sprinkle the mint over them and gently toss, being careful not to bruise the berries. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your palate.

The first time I made it I used a pear balsamic and the noted amount of cardamom, the 2nd time, I increased the cardamom because I love it, and this time I used a blueberry balsamic and more berries without increasing the balsamic or the agave nectar. Sooooo good!

Lovely combination that I would never have imagined would be good together. Couple hints from my personal prefernce - my miniscule pinch of cardommon turned out to be close to a 1/4 tsp. I may have ground it too much or maybe my spice was old because I needed a decent amount to be able to taste it through the vinegar. Also, I used the pound of strawberries and pint of blackberries called for .. tasted it ... and immediately added another pound of strawberries and carton of blackberries because the vinegar was too strong for my personal preference. The extra fruit made it wonderful! Thanks Aarti!
