• 1 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
• 1 Tbs. salt
• 1 Tbs. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup Driscoll's strawberries, sliced
• 4 basil leaves, rinsed, dried, and ripped in small pieces

Line a 2 cups bowl with plastic wrap, letting the plastic over hang the edges somewhat. Set aside

Put the three cheeses in a mixing bowl and combine them well. Add the vinegar and combine well. Add salt to taste. Give it a few grinds of fresh pepper. Transfer the mixture to the plastic lined bowl, cover and refrigerate until firm.

Half-hour before serving, remove the mold from the refrigerator to soften slightly and turn out onto a serving platter. Leave the plastic wrap on.

To serve: Remove plastic wrap. Press strawberry slices all around perimeter and over surfaces in an attractive fashion. Grind some fresh pepper over the berries and scatter the ripped basil on the top. Serve with crackers.
