For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a balsamic glaze drizzle just before serving. If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute with a small amount of dried basil, but fresh is highly recommended for the best taste. This salad is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to prevent the strawberries from becoming too soft. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a subtle kick.
