This is one of my favorite recipes to make when berries are in season. Celebrate the warmer days of summer by this berry arugula salad with white balsamic vinegar dressing, fresh arugula, strawberries, blueberries, pecans, lettuce leaves, Parmesan cheese and an incredible vinaigrette that takes the salad to another tier. \u00a0It is one of those salads that you will crave and by time be a standard in your household.<\/p>\n

The dark balsamic vinegar reduction has become increasingly popular almost everywhere.\u00a0 But have you tried the white balsamic vinegar? If not I tell you, you should seriously consider trying it. You may be able to find a ready white balsamic reduction in stores, I prefer to buy a white balsamic vinegar bottle and make the reduction at home. It is easy and only requires the white balsamic vinegar bottle, and a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ditch the store-bought dressing and make my favorite one. I have been making for a while. The crucial ingredient in this dressing is the white balsamic vinegar reduction, that not only gives a super depth of flavor but even keeps the dressing sun-shining, unlike the traditional balsamic\u00a0 that turns your salad into a brown one!! It is sweet with a bit tangy flavor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Start your salad by making the white vinegar reduction! It is super easy, and when you reduce it, it becomes concentrated and the tangy flavor will be altered into a sweet one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Empty a white balsamic bottle into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and let the vinegar simmer until reduced to half a cup. It should have the consistency of a thick maple syrup.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is the concentrated white balsamic vinegar reduction you prepared.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Use the mentioned amount in the dressing and keep the rest in a glass bottle in the fridge for future uses.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Toast the pecans to bring out their earthy flavor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Place the arugula in a salad bowl.\u00a0 Scatter the strawberries, blueberries \/ diced red apple and pecans all over the arugula.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Top with shaved Parmesan.\u00a0Drizzle the dressing over each serving! Enjoy!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All the ingredients in the salad taste really good together. But like all salads, you can adjust it to your own personal taste; you could add raspberries, cranberries, macadamias, and even change the lettuce to baby spinach. \u00a0The dressing is what brings out the best flavors in these ingredients!! A winner salad for sure! Happy eating!!<\/p>\n
