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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh strawberries thoroughly, then hull and cut them into halves.
Step 2
Add the strawberries, balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to a blender or food processor.
Step 3
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 30-60 seconds.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more honey for sweetness or balsamic vinegar for tanginess.
Step 6
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Step 7
Shake or stir before serving, as natural separation may occur over time.
