If you're not sure about this, start small. Try a spinach salad tossed with nuts like walnuts or pecans and sliced strawberries and a sweet balsamic with a little grated romano. Seriously, give it a go, it's healthy and tastes amazing.

Remember, tomato is a fruit, it's just not sweet. But we then add heaps of sugar to tomato sauce to make it sweet. Fruit like strawberry is already sweetened, it makes perfect sense on paper.

What's throwing everyone is that our first experiences with sweet fruit flavors is always candy or pastries and we have a hard time shaking that association as strictly appropriate.
