Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 quarter cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed. If desired, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin the dressing to your desired consistency.
Once finished, transfer the dressing to a clean jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Shake or stir well before using. Serve drizzled over your favorite salad or store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
