Notes

For a chunkier texture, blend the dressing as directed, then pulse an extra 1/2 cup chopped strawberries separately and stir them in. Taste and adjust seasoning: add more honey if too tart, or extra vinegar if too sweet. This dressing is excellent on mixed greens, spinach, or arugula salads with goat cheese and nuts. It also works as a marinade for grilled chicken or shrimp. Store in the fridge for up to 7 days; shake or stir before each use.
