Happy Monday, everyone! Spring’s in full swing and the berries are starting to come in, you guys. Just last week I bought a huge flat of strawberries and then quickly realized I couldn’t eat all of them – but no matter, I had an idea – make my strawberries into a thick and creamy dressing.
I’m not usually a fan of dressings because I see it as a waste of calories, and I’d rather have more cheese, nuts, or protein in my salad. But this vinaigrette is light and full of the good stuff, and I might be making batches all spring long. I’m thinking of making this with blueberries, too, or some kind of berry combo – call me a rebel.
Throw it on a salad with some greens, pecans, cut strawberries, and some goat cheese – delicious. Or try a salmon salad with a spritz of lemon and this dressing and some pine nuts and spinach. Your options are endless. Recipe below!
Ingredients
- 6 large strawberries
- 2 ounce olive oil
- 2 ounce white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1/2 ounce vodka (or just add more vinegar)
Directions
-
Rinse and chop strawberries.
-
Add all ingredients into a bowl or jar, and use an immersion blender to blend. If you don't have an immersion blender, just throw into your regular blender.
-
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately over salad. Store in the refrigerator.
