Classic Strawberry Vinaigrette

This strawberry vinaigrette salad dressing is sweet tart and makes any salad taste irresistible! Even better, you can whip it up in just 5 minutes.

• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Yield: About 1 ¼ cups

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups sliced strawberries
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1. In an immersion blender, small blender or standard blender, blend all ingredients until smooth.
