I picked strawberries today.
They were so tiny and soft, I thought making a
dressing with them might be a good thing.
After looking at some recipes online,
I played with ingredients until I thought it tasted yummy!
It also gave me a chance to use some lemon thyme...
a new-to-my-garden herb and was smelling so good,
I was dying to try it out on something!
I doubled the recipe below just because that's how many
strawberries I had. But I don't think we'll have any
trouble using it up. I can imagine it as a glaze on
chicken or salmon, too. Yum.
Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette
2 cups of fresh strawberries
1/8 c balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoons of Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/4 c sugar
1 tablespoon chopped onion
2 teaspoons of fresh lemon thyme
1/2 t kosher
1/4 t ground black pepper
Blend all ingredients in the blender on highest setting
until very well combined and liquefied. Chill.

Looks good. Does it taste good?
ReplyDeleteOf course it does! I kept adding ingredients until I liked it. I liked the spoon clean. ha.
DeleteI'm serving it on a spinach salad tonight!
What a great colour - sounds delicious! And I love the planter your lemon thyme is in. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt is delish! Tastes like summer on a plate. yum.
DeleteI bet the lemon thyme would be great for fish or chicken dishes too. Did you survive the dentist's? Seems like you were just there...
DeleteWe're going every three months...the cleanings are lighter and less invasive that way...easier to tolerate for the boys...
DeleteAh, that makes sense. Maybe I should try that too. I grit my teeth - literally - when I go.
DeleteI just made a vinaigrette, using herbs from my planter. I will use your recipe once I have those fresh local strawberries. It sounds wonderful. Do your boys eat salad? My son used to chow down on it..now not so much and usually it's like 'let's make a deal'..haha
ReplyDeleteMy Taylor has always loved salad...even as a two-year old! But the triplets will not eat it. It's one of the few things Alex won't eat!
DeleteNever even heard of that
ReplyDeleteThyme has been heard of though by the cat
Supposed to be good
Strawberries are avoided though at my hood
You and Jax
Deletescared of strawberry attacks. ha.
lol not scared like her
DeleteDon't ruffle my fur
Looks Yum . . . . but I haven't got the Thyme . . . groan! . . .sorry for the pun . . . lol
ReplyDeleteDid you say that in your Dozy face or your Grumpy face? lol...
Deletelol . . . . . Turns out my Sleepy face . . .lol
DeleteNot Dopey? lol....sorry...had to do it! ha.
DeleteI just knew that was coming , , , , you should go to the Doc , , , rofl . . .
DeleteSounds good. I tried an arugula salad with watermelon the other day. That was one delicious combination. I bet your strawberry balsamic vinaigrette would have been the bomb on it!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree....what a great combination!
DeleteNever had this before, but the blend of flavors sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteVery tasty! I'll make it again!
DeleteStrawberries aren't ready here yet, but soon! This looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteYes...very soon! Hope you try it!
