1 cup thinly sliced strawberries (approximately 8 strawberries), rinsed, stem removed

1 teaspoon dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon lime juice, from approximately 1 lime

1/4 cup vegetable or coconut oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

kosher salt, as desired

freshly ground black pepper, as desired

Method:

1.   In a small food processor, add strawberries, brown sugar, lime juice, vegetable oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and resembles salad dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper, toss with your favorite salad greens and enjoy.

Kitchen Note: Dressing will keep up to 5 days in the refrigerator.  Note: The longer the vinaigrette sits in the fridge, the stronger the “bite” will get!
