Ingredients

½ pound fresh strawberries
1 large ripe peach
1-2 TBSP fresh chopped/sliced basil

DRESSING

¾ cup orange juice
1 TBSP granulated sugar
1 TBSP white wine vinegar
teeny pinch of salt

Instructions

First whip up your dressing. This is a sweet orange vinaigrette that allows the flavor of the fruit to really shine.
Combine orange juice, sugar, vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
Cook for 15 minutes until mixture is reduced and thickened into a glaze. The dressing will be pourable but visably thickened. Allow to cool while you chop your fruit.
Hull straweverries by removing the leafy tops and roughly chop/dice. Remove the pit from the peach and dice. Combine fruit with basil in a bowl and, once dressing has had a few minutes to cool, pour dressing over fruit.
Enjoy! See notes for some delicoius serving suggestions.

Notes

Need a few tasty serving suggestions? Serve it straight up as a fresh fruit salad. Add cinnamon sugar dusted tortilla chips or pita chips and dive in salsa-style. Top grilled fish or chicken for a sweet and savory flavor combo, perfect for a Summer dinner al fresco.

It's also fantastic as a topping for yogurt bowls with creamy plain or vanilla yogurt and your favorite crunchy granola!

I kept things simple, but feel free to add fresh blueberries to the mix if you have some handy! Kiwi would also be a tasty addition as would diced mango. If you add a bunch of extra fruit you can double the dressing if needed.
