This delicious strawberry vinaigrette is rich in vitamin C and a group of antioxidants called phenols. The unique combination of phenols found in strawberries - headed by anthocyanins and ellagitannins - makes strawberries and this vinaigrette good for protecting you against heart disease, cancer, and chronic inflammation.
| 8 | large strawberries | ||
| ½ | cup | extra virgin olive oil | |
| ¼ | cup | apple cider vinegar or freshly squeezed lemon juice | |
| ¼ | cup | water | |
| 1 | clove | garlic | |
| 1 | teaspoon | honey |
Blend all ingredients in a strong blender. Add more water if you prefer a lighter consistency. This recipe works just as well if you substitute the strawberries with any other type of berry; blueberries and blackberries work especially well.
We prefer crisp, romaine lettuce over other types of lettuce to eat along with this berry dressing. Enjoy!
