    Simple, refreshing, and oil-free strawberry balsamic vinaigrette. It's tangy, sweet, and perfect for spring or early summer on a bed of greens.

    Summer is approaching and a lighter vinaigrette sounds delightful on salads this time of the year.  It’s also a great alternative to use up those strawberries from berry picking.  Not that I ever get to find something to do with them. 

    I usually have all these ideas and plan to freeze some for later.  Yet, every year the strawberries mainly just get eaten right out of the fridge, and before I know it they’re all gone.  So, thank goodness I can still buy them from the store.  Maybe that’s a great tip to get your family to eat more fruit, go pick it! 

    How to make strawberry vinaigrette

    Mix the lemon juice and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl, then add the diced shallot.  This will soften the harshness of the shallot and give the dressing a little more flavor.  That’s what we want, to build some flavor!  Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes then add everything to the blender and blend. 

    Super easy and most of the time is spent waiting on the shallot.  Then add the vinaigrette on top of a bed of greens or strawberry avocado salad.  Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to a week and stir before serving.
