Fresh Strawberry Balsamic Dressing

During the summer, we live on salads of all kinds and this is one of our favorite dressings. It so fresh and simple and most importantly, fat free!!! Although it's not summer here in California, I found some super plump and sweet strawberries so I made this tonight and thought I'd share. Happy Eats!

The Ingredients:

About a cup or two of strawberries, hulls remover

2 cloves of garlic 

2 tablespoons of honey 

Balsamic Vinegar*

Olive Oil*

Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper

Toss strawberries and garlic into a blender.  Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with a little sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. 

 

Add about a cup of balsamic vinegar. This really depends on your taste preference.  I like a dressing with a little punch so I go a little heavy with the balsamic, but start out with less and add more to suit your taste.  Purée till strawberries are broken down. With blender still running, add in the olive oil. I added maybe 2-3 tablespoons.  I was going for maximum flavor, minimum fat here! Continue purée till all is combined and dressing is smooth. Adjust seasonings to taste. 

And that is it! Super yummy! Our favorite salad to use this dressing on is a simple one of spinach leaves, feta (or blue cheese), red onion and slivered almonds! Hope you enjoy!
