Ingredients

1 lb strawberries
1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1-2 tbsp honey
10 oz vanilla yogurt or two containers
1 1/2 cups whipped cream or cool whip
fresh mint or basil for garnish, optional

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh strawberries, then remove the stems. Chop or slice the strawberries into small, uniform pieces. A 1 lb (16 oz.) container will yield about 2 1/2 to 3 cups chopped.
Place the chopped strawberries into a mixing bowl. Add the balsamic vinegar and honey, adjusting the amount used according to your taste preferences. Gently fold together until all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours) before serving.
To serve, spoon a dollop of vanilla yogurt into the bottom of a serving bowl. Spoon the balsamic macerated strawberries on top, then add whipped cream on top. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint (if using) and serve immediately.

Notes

To store leftovers, seal the macerated strawberries in an airtight container. Refrigerate and serve chilled, and eat within 48 hours for best results.
