Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup (5-6 ounces) fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) white balsamic vinegar* (may use traditional red, but no need for aged or “good” balsamic)
  • 1/4 cup (56ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon (20g) pure maple syrup (could substitute honey)
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of the pepper mill

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, blend the strawberries, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon, salt and pepper until smooth. Scrape down the sides once or twice as needed.
  2. The dressing can be made in advance and will keep for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. There will be enough dressing for several salads.

Notes

*The use of white balsamic vinegar in place of a traditional dark red balsamic creates a pretty light pink color. The latter creates a darker hue. (See photo comparison in the main post.) The flavor will be slightly different depending on which balsamic variety is used, but the dressing is delicious both ways. Feel free to try both ways or with whichever you have on hand.
