Strawberry Vinaigrette

Author Joy in Every Season

Ingredients

  • Strawberry Vinaigrette
  • 1 1/2 -2 cups fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup olive oil plus a little extra if dressing is too thick
  • 2 TBSP balsamic vinegar
  • 2 TBSP honey
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • For the Salad: I used baby kale salad mix from Trader Joes. I added fresh avocado, dried cranberries, and a bagged salad topper (contained nuts, seeds, & red pepper flakes). The salad topper (also from Trader Joes) is optional, but I'd suggest some candied pecans or walnuts if you prefer.

Instructions

  • Remove stems and rinse strawberries.
  • Cut berries in half, place into medium bowl, and drizzle honey over the top. Let sit for 10-15 to macerate (to soften and sweeten the berries).
  • Place all ingredients into blender (strawberries, honey, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper) and blend until combined.
  • Add a little extra olive oil if dressing is too thick.
  • Serve immediately or place in refrigerator until you're ready to dress your salad.
  • Enjoy!
