With strawberries and blueberries now in season, it is the perfect time to celebrate them with this simple dish bursting with flavour and fruity aromas. The ripe and juicy berries with their natural sweetness are balanced beautifully by the acidity of the fragrant balsamic vinegar and the tartness of the yoghurt, creating a light dessert and a delightful treat that is refreshing and indulgent in equal measure.
