Strawberries, Peaches, and Basil with Orange Vinaigrette

Dan Barber, the chef of the acclaimed locavore restaurant Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Pocantico Hills, New York, created the first dessert vinaigrette I had encountered. This is an adaptation of his recipe, which incorporated much more olive oil and melted butter. The warm vinaigrette releases an intoxicating perfume when poured over the fresh fruit. Serve within 20 minutes of preparing for maximum flavor and optimal temperature.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 15 minutes). Add oil and salt to pan, stirring with a whisk. Let stand 2 minutes.
Step 2
Combine berries and peach in a large bowl. Add juice mixture, stirring gently. Sprinkle with basil.

OMG! SOOOO GOOD! I used fruit that I had on hand. It included peaches, blueberries, mango and bananas. Try it with any fruit! I used just a little bit of basil and cut it chiffonade style and it was great. I too was a bit nervous about the basil, however it does add a nice fresh flavor. I am pregnant and this completely satisfies my sugar cravings! I will keep making this.

Simple and delicious. Doesn't get better than that! Would also like to try it some time with mint instead of basil.

This recipe was amazing! A wonderful twist on a boring fruit salad...I made this for a dinner party and everyone raved over it and asked for the recipe. I was a little leery adding the basil in but it really does add to the flavor.

Made half a recipe for the two of us. Loved the flavor; not too sweet. Certainly worth the time to make the vinaigrette. Will use less basil next time.

Had this last night for dessert and it was wonderful. The orange vinaigrette is delicious and easy to make and the basil added wonderful flavor. Worth trying for sure.
