Ripe strawberries are pureed with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and fresh basil for a dressing that balances sweet and tangy notes. It works well drizzled over mixed greens with goat cheese, or as a marinade for grilled chicken. The dressing comes together quickly in a blender with no cooking required.

Ingredients

  • 1 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1/3 cups balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cups olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
  • 1 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoons black pepper

Method

  1. Combine the strawberries, balsamic vinegar, basil, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender.

  2. Blend on medium-high speed until smooth, about 30 seconds, stopping once to scrape down the sides.

  3. With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and blend until the dressing is emulsified and smooth, about 20 seconds.

  4. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  5. Pour the dressing into a 16-ounce jar or bottle and refrigerate until ready to use, shaking well before serving.
