This salad is SO good and just perfect for the sultry days of
summer, those patriotic holidays in particular because of the red, white, and
blue. It is a snap to toss together using spinach, fresh strawberries, fresh
blueberries, and a sprinkling of bleu cheese (or any crumbled white cheese of
your choice, feta, for example). What knocks this out of the park is the fresh
strawberry dressing. You'll need a small blender or processor in order to
properly pulverize the strawberries, but the dressing, like the salad, goes
together in a breeze. Make lots of this one. People are going to love it!
Fresh
Strawberry Dressing
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, halved or quartered depending upon size
1/2 Tablespoon granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
Place all ingredients into a bullet (or any similar) blender and whir for 30-45 seconds. Drizzle over salad and toss. Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
This dressing is equally good on any type of salad that you enjoy, whether fruitful, or fruitless. :-)

ReplyDeletePattie, Balsamic vinegar is so delicious with strawberries and your recipe must be excellent with the addition of the mustard! This salad will be a perfect side for Independence Day picnics! Linda
