Watermelon Salad w/ Strawberry Fig Balsalmic Reduction

If you haven't tried any of the Nonna Pia's gourmet reductions yet you are truly depriving your tastebuds of pure joy! Do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle from Edible BC on Granville Island and if you can't decide between Classic, Rosemary or Strawberry/Fig just ask them for a taster and they will be more than happy to give you one.
There are even a bunch of recipes online to help you out too :) Here is one to get you salivating in the mean time ;)

Ingredients

Butter lettuce
Watermelon
Red Onion
Dates
Slivered Almonds
Goat Cheese (a nice soft one from Oyama Sausage - Jerome just knows how to pick 'em!)
Toasted sourdough bread cut in squares
Drizzle with olive oil
Drizzle with Nonna Pia's flavorful and velvety smooth Strawberry/Fig balsamic reduction and you have a summer in a bowl! Perfect if you didn't get a chance to soak up as much natural Vitamin D as you would've liked on this lovely day!
