Fresh Strawberry Dressing
Pureed strawberries make a distinctive base for a colorful salad dressing with a creamy consistency, and you still get the nutritional benefits-fiber, vitamin C, heart-healthy phytonutrients-of eating the whole berries.
Ingredients
-
1 cup strawberries, (6 large berries), rinsed, hulled and sliced
-
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
-
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon sugar
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoons almond oil, (see Note) or canola oil
Directions
1.
Place strawberries, vinegar, pepper, sugar and salt in a blender or food processor; process until pureed, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides. Add oil and process until smooth.
Tips:
Note: Almond oil is an unrefined oil pressed from almonds. You can find it in many supermarkets and natural-foods stores. Store it in the refrigerator.
MAKE AHEAD TIP: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
