Magic Bullet Workout

4/19/2011

Lets talk salad dressing: sure it is available at any grocery store, but it is so easy to make….it is. If you have a Magic Bullet or some sort of blender or even a whisk or fork, you are in business.

Dinner tonight in our house was in need of a salad and therefore dressing, so into my Magic Bullet went:

½ cup olive oil
½ cup strawberries
4 tbsp balsamic vinegar (or more to taste)
1 garlic clove, chopped
pinch of salt and pepper

Blend...strawberry vinaigrette...done!

Tonight I served it over romaine lettuce, with cucumber, snap peas, mango and goat cheese. Yum. Because it has fresh strawberries in it I would keep it in the fridge for no longer than 4-5 days.

Why do I love this? I control the salt and fat content. Trying to cut back on calories? Use less oil or skip the cheese in the salad. I also like anything that makes a salad more interesting. Plus we are squeezing in some extra fruit…yes!

There are endless recipes on the web for vinaigrettes and most are pretty easy and don’t always need a blender. I hope this encourages you to try your hand at it. Love a recipe? Feel free to share.

I like adding a teaspoon of mustard powder to my magic bullet vinaigrettes, it emulsifies everything into a smooth blended texture! Mmmmm, strawberries is a great idea I'll be sure to try soon, thanks Tiffany!

@ Katie D. Going to try your recipe for sure, even have the raspberry balsamic vinegar.

Good point on the emulsifier Selena. An emulsifier is something that helps blend the oil and vinegar and slows separation. Yellow or dijon mustard does the trick too.

The recipe is very tasty. I really like the way the strawberry is made into that beautiful salad. The photos posted on the picture are very good. I really like the way explanations are given on the recipe. The addition of vinegar made the big difference.
