Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the fresh strawberries thoroughly, then hull and cut them into halves.
Add the strawberries, balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to a blender or food processor.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 30-60 seconds.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. This will help emulsify the dressing for a smooth and creamy texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more honey for sweetness or balsamic vinegar for tanginess.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Shake or stir before serving, as natural separation may occur over time.
