SPINACH, ROCKET AND STRAWBERRY SALAD WITH STRAWBERRY VINAIGRETTE

July 13, 2013 By Manu 4 Comments

Strawberry Salad

I have seen quite a few recipes of salads that include strawberries lately and I was very curious to try one myself.  I usually enjoy having fruits in savoury dishes and I think strawberries (and berries in general) make for fantastic savoury ingredients as they are slightly tart and not overly sweet.  I have even made Strawberry Risotto in the past and loved it, so I wasn’t surprised to find out that strawberries in salads taste amazing!  This is a very simple recipe, but what makes it stand out from all the other strawberry salad recipes is the vinaigrette made with the Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar I posted about a couple of days ago.  This vinaigrette enhances the strawberry flavour and it kind of “distributes” it throughout the salad, so you taste it in every bite and not only when you eat the strawberries.  I hope you like it as much as I do!
