This is probably it…the last great watermelon until next summer…crisp little colorful radishes, a handful of strawberries that taste like strawberries and meaty baby Roma tomatoes…my So Long Summer Salad. Bye bye for now…see you later…Sayanora sweet friends.
All cut up in a bowl…..
drizzled with this sublime Apple Balsamic Vinegar.
Tossed and chilled. Cold, crunchy, sweet and savory. Delicious piled on a bed of peppery arugula alongside a grilled steak. So long summer…it’s been good to know ya…

As always thank you Johanne.
love the combination of pinks and reds, fleeting summer fruits and little radish crunch. I’ve never seen apple balsamic! perfect for fall
As you know Nance I am a fan of Lazzaroli’s Pasta Shop down the street from me and I found this balsamic there…grabbed a bottle of orange as well…cannot wait to try that one. Thanks much.
The fruits and vegetables go well together? I’ve never thought about that…
I love the savory-sweet thing and thought these would all be good together and they really were! Just an experiment that turned out rather well! Thanks for stopping by.
I might have to try it. I don’t usually like the savoury-sweet thing but you don’t know unless you try (:
