Ingredients
- ¼ cup of strawberries (tops cut then quartered)
- The zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 4 ounces of white balsamic vinegar
- ⅓ of mint (picked and gently chopped)
- 8 ounces of vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 4 cracks of black pepper (about ¼ teaspoon)
Instructions
- Gently wash your strawberries and cut the tops off then cut them into quarters.
- Once cut, put them into your blender along with the zest and juice of the lemon, and the white balsamic vinegar. Blend on a low speed for about 30 seconds, until relatively smooth.
- Turn off the blender and add the dijon mustard, the honey, the salt and the pepper. Blend again for another 15 seconds until everything is incorporated.
- Pick the leaves of mint off the stems and gently chop. Set the mint aside.
- While running the blender at its slowest speed, slowly stream in the oil into the vinaigrette until all the oil is incorporated.
- Once incorporated, turn the blender up to high for about 5 seconds and then turn it off.
- You are forming an emulsion between the oil and other ingredients so the mixture should be smooth and blended together, loosely resembling a smoothie.
- Gently stir in the chopped mint and allow the vinaigrette to sit in the fridge for 1 hour for all the flavors to come together. Season to taste before using.
