Strawberry Summer Salad



One of the best things about the Spring and Summer months is the fresh produce that accompanies the warm weather. Today on G A T H E R E D, I am sharing one of my favorite summer salads along with a homemade Strawberry Poppy Seed Vinaigrette. Whether you’re hosting a cookout or preparing dinner for the family, this recipe is sure to please all of your salad-lovers!

Strawberry Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

Ingredients:
¾ cup of fresh strawberries
2-3 tbsp vinegar ( balsamic, rice, red wine, or white)
½ cup of oil (olive, canola, or even a Greek yogurt)
2 tsp poppy seeds
Sweeten to taste (with sugar, honey, stevia or agave)
Season to taste (with salt, pepper, ginger, mustard or lime)


Instructions:
Puree the strawberries in a blender or food processor until liquid forms
Combine ALL ingredients in a jar or bottle
Blend ingredients together with a whisk, or simply by shaking the jar or bottle
Drizzle the vinaigrette over a spinach salad, topped with fresh strawberries, avocado, red onion, feta cheese and toasted almonds

Yes, it is that easy!
