FRUIT SALAD RECIPE WITH BALSAMIC DRESSING

This Fruit Salad recipe is one that I like to serve for lunch with a cheese plate. Together, the cheeses and the fruit salad are a simple but delicious and satisfying combination.

The dressing calls for balsamic reduction, which is balsamic vinegar that has been reduced into a thicker, sweeter vinegar. If you can't find it at the store, you can reduce a Tablespoon of regular balsamic vinegar over low heat until it reduces by half and the consistency becomes syrupy. You'll be surprised by how a light drizzle of this dressing really makes the fruit flavors explode.
