 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!
