Warm Balsamic Strawberry Salsa

(makes 2 cups)

butter flavored cooking spray

2	tablespoons (30 ml) red onion, chopped

2	tablespoons (30 ml) minced fresh chives

1	tablespoon (15 ml) dry red wine

2	tablespoons (30 ml) balsamic vinegar

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2	cups (240 g) fresh strawberries, washed and sliced

Spray a small non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Sauté the red onion until wilted.
Add the chives, red wine, vinegar, and pepper and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the strawberries and cook for another 3 minutes. They should keep their shape, but the flavors should blend.

Store any leftover salsa to use the next day of grilled fish or add to a green tossed salad.
