Fresh Greens with Strawberry Vinaigrette
From Sheri Castle of Creative Cooking with Sheri Castle
This salad is spring in a bowl. The flavorful vinaigrette captures the sweetness and intensity of
perfectly ripe spring berries, which is only enhanced by the fruity vinegar. Although any
salad greens will do, I like to use the more sturdy and crunchy ones instead of tiny leaves.
Please use neutral oil instead of olive oil because you don’t want to mask the berries. Any soft
cheese, such as Chapel Hill Creamery’s Carolina Moon or Celebrity Dairy’s plain chèvre,
works well and adds a savory note against the sweet berries. This salad is very popular with
any meal, but is particularly nice with brunch. Most children love this vinaigrette!
Strawberry Vinaigrette
1 pint fresh strawberries, washed and trimmed
1/2 cup raspberry vinegar or Balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1/4 to 3/4 cup grapeseed oil or vegetable oil
Black pepper
Makes about 1 cup.
Make-ahead note: You can make this vinaigrette up to 2 days ahead. Store covered and
refrigerated. Return to room temperature before…
