for the perfect summer salad…

Of course it’s entirely up to you but I highly recommend pouring this light, fruity vinaigrette over a goat’s cheese salad.

There’s just something about the creamy tang of goats cheese that lends itself well to the sweet taste.

blending the goodness together

If, like hubby dearest, you’re not a fan of goat’s cheese then, lucky for you, this vinaigrette will still taste amazing with other pairings.

Pairings like a spinach and toasted almond salad,  a chunky avocado and red onion salad and even a pear, blue cheese and argula salad.

I slathered it on a radish, carrot and lettuce mix

Time to get out your favourite greens and start experimenting!

Strawberry Vinaigrette (makes about 2 cups)
