Why I Love This Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe
Summer screams salads, well at least for me. Hot days call for cool, crisp, and refreshing salads and I love to mix different greens and various vegetables from the garden for use in my summer meals. My finishing touch is always a simple and fresh vinaigrette. I love to play around with different herbs, kinds of vinegar, and bases for my dressings and this is one of my favorites. Instead of adding strawberries to my salad, I blend them into the vinaigrette. Slightly sweet but balanced with balsamic vinegar, this is a perfect summertime treat!
Use this dressing on your favorite salad and make sure to garnish with summer’s freshest berries to accentuate the vinaigrette. This will soon be a summer (or year-round) staple for you!
