Lettuce-Free Salad

I've had the idea of strawberries with balsamic vinegar in my head for a few days now, so I threw them in this salad (it's still a salad if there's no lettuce, right?). Then I ended up using raspberry balsamic vinegar for some added fruitiness, so the strawberries wouldn't feel alienated.

Lettuce-Free Salad with Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar

Ingredients:
2 oz. each (1/2 serving) of:
-Cucumbers, sliced/chopped to desired size (peel optional)
-Asparagus, chopped
-Grape tomatoes, halved
-Strawberries, cut in quarters/eighths/whatever you like
Raspberry balsamic vinegar to taste (or regular balsamic if you don't have raspberry)

Directions:
1. Measure and cut all ingredients. Put in bowl and toss until combined.
2. Drizzle lightly with vinegar; toss again to coat evenly.
3. Refrigerate if desired, or just eat it. Equals two fruit/vegetable servings.

  2. This sounds delicious... I will force you to make it for me since I'm no longer allowing myself to slice things.

  3. You guys, let's have a party where we get together and eat this salad. It is so passably mediocre.
