- 2 cups frozen strawberries (whole or chopped)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients: Using a food processor or an immersion blender, blend the frozen strawberries, apple cider vinegar, honey, and extra virgin olive oil together until the mixture is smooth and the oil is fully incorporated with the strawberries, creating a vibrant vinaigrette base.
- Season the Dressing: Add salt and pepper to taste, then briefly blend again to evenly distribute the seasoning throughout the vinaigrette for balanced flavor.
- Store the Vinaigrette: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container. You can enjoy it immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use, where it will keep well for several days.
- Serve and Enjoy: Use your homemade strawberry vinaigrette to dress salads, enhance vegetables, or as a delicious marinade for chicken or fish to add a fresh, fruity twist to your meals.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a small amount of water or more apple cider vinegar while blending.
- For a chunkier texture, pulse the blender less to leave small pieces of strawberries.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, stirring before each use as the ingredients may separate.
- This dressing is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
