Strawberry Vinaigrette

I cannot pass those beautiful red strawberries at the market without taking some home! I have made all the smoothies and cobblers humanly possible, and have eaten my weight in raw berries by this point in the season. I wanted to try something with strawberries that added sweetness to a savory dish, and I needed some variety in my salad combinations, et voila! Strawberry vinaigrette came into my life. Yum.

3 oz strawberry juice (puree 1 C strawberries, then press the pulp through a sieve with a spatula so the just the juice is pressed through)

1/4 C white balsamic vinegar (I love the fig infused one I found at Kroger)

1/2 C olive oil

1TBS Dijon mustard

salt and pepper

Shake or stir until all the ingredients are emulsified. Perfect with simple salads.

  1. Thanks for posting this Erin! I still need to make Trevor's salad of fresh Spinach, Strawberries, toasted pecans, and red onion with his strawberry vin. His was without the dijon, but that sounds delicious... will try!
