STRAWBERRY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Lucky for me, the husband and both my boys love salads. They’ll eat just about anything if it’s in a salad and they’ll even order salads when we go out to eat. I credit their salad obsession with how often I make them and good homemade salad dressings. In my opinion, not too many things beat a good salad dressing and I love finding new ones to try and sharing our favorites here on the blog. This strawberry balsamic vinaigrette definitely checks off those boxes and I’m excited for you to give it a try!
I can’t take credit for this balsamic vinaigrette, but I can for sharing it with you all 😉 My friend, Jessica Gavin of jessicagavin.com, recently released her first cookbook, Easy Culinary Science for Better Cooking. Jessica is a certified culinary scientist and uses her knowledge of science to teach you how to transform good dishes into great dishes. Her book helps you to remove the “mystery” of cooking and become the best cook possible!
