Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

Makes 12 oz. of Vinaigrette

Ingredients

1 C Balsamic Vinegar de Modena

½ tsp Table Salt

½ tsp Black Pepper

2 TBS Sugar

½ C Frozen Strawberries Defrosted & Pureed

2 C Extra Virgin Olive Oil b

Whisk, until smooth, one cup balsamic vinegar, ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries that have been defrosted and pureed. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil.

Storage: Store in the refrigerator. Olive oil thickens in the refrigerator so you will need to leave the prepared dressing at room temperature for 5 minutes then shake it well.

* Pronto Substitutes

Vinegar – I prefer a good quality Balsamic Vinegar de Modena but you can use red wine, cider, or any other vinegar depending on what type of taste you are looking for.

Fruit Puree – I use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and pureed in a blender. You can use a variety of fresh fruit as well such as fresh ripe peaches (peeled).

Olive Oil – You can use any oil, such as canola, but extra virgin olive oil tastes best and is the healthiest.
