This recipe may sound odd, but I swear it will be your new favorite salad:Take a pound of strawberries (one of the regular-sized containers full), wash them, hull them, and cut them into quarters.
Thinly slice (or chiffonade, which is one of my favorite words) some fresh basil until you have a couple tablespoons worth.
Put the strawberries and basil together in a bowl with a teaspoon of sugar and two teaspoons of balsamic vinegar. Toss them all up gently till the strawberries are coated with the vinegar. Put that stuff in the fridge for an hour.
After a bit, take two cucumbers, peel them, slice them lengthwise, scoop out all the seeds, and thinly slice them.
Mix that cucumber up with a teaspoon or so of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Take the strawberries out of the fridge, mix the cucumbers in with the strawberries, and throw some salt and pepper in there until it tastes just right.
Now eat it. And tell me what you think.

Don't chiffonade your fingers! But do try this salad sometime. Josh says it is his favorite salad ever.
