Strawberry Salad With Balsamic-Cardamom Dressing

balsamic vinegar

agave nectar or honey

Miniscule pinch of ground cardamom (It's strong stuff!)

salt and pepper

strawberries,

blackberries

mint, leaves

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. 

Delicious! Boyfriend and I loved it! I've never tasted anything quite like this before. I made it exactly as in the recipe.

it was good but my wife and I didn't use any of the gravy necter. I don't understand why it suggests to use gravy unless its a thanksgiving side.

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!
