Plus, it’s packed with antioxidants thanks to the pepperberry and fresh fruit juice, making it as nourishing as it is delicious.
Using a mortar and pestle, grind the native Australian pepperberries into a coarse powder. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can use a spice grinder instead.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the freshly pressed strawberry juice, apple cider vinegar, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Whisk in the ground pepperberry, honey, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your palate.
Transfer the dressing to a glass jar or bottle and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake well before serving. Use as a dressing for leafy greens, roasted vegetables, or as a marinade for proteins like chicken or fish.
