Oh, Man I wish I knew about this group a while back... HELP!!!

huge question. I have 2 receipts for a Strawberry salad and well they say different things. Now both call for the strawberries to be marinaded in Balsamic vinegar but then here is my problem One calls for a balsamic vinaigrette while the second receipt call for a red wine vinaigrette. (it said too much balsamic would over power the sweet strawberry taste you want.)

PLEASE can someone help me. Any suggestions. I'm making this for my mother's dinner and (not that she is the best cook in the world--I love her and all but that was Grandma's gig--but she is VERY critical about EVERYTHING. I will hear it if it is not 100% perfect.

Please give me wisdom

1. Half and Half????

Why don't you make a vinaigrette with half balsamic and half red wine vinegar. That might get you something in the middle of both recipes. It won't be bad. Go for it.

3. NO don't do this

I just read your receipe in the Lounge. Go back there and do what I told you to do there. You'll be fine.

I didn't understand the concept until I saw more details.

5. I'd go with the balsamic

I just can't see red wine vinegar and strawberries, too acid with sweet fruit. Balsamic vinegar is more sweet than acidic. Just my opinion:-)

7. I'd go with the red wine vinagrette, much more complementary

to the strawberries. Balsamic on strawberries sounds icky!
