Braising Greens in Strawberry-Honey Vinaigrette

Ingredients

Strawberry Vinaigrette

• 1 cup strawberries, stemmed and quartered

• 1 Tablespoon honey

• 5 Tablespoons red wine vinegar

• 1/3 cup olive oil

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Salad

• greens, thinly sliced (I used a mix of braising greens that included kale and chard. Feel free to use less hearty greens if you wish)

• fresh strawberries for garnish

• freshly ground salt, as needed

• freshly ground pepper, as needed

• crumbled cheese, optional

Procedure

Combine the strawberries, honey, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor or blender and puree until very smooth, about 2 minutes.

Place braising greens in a large mixing bowl and dress as desired. Toss to coat completely and turn onto a serving platter. Garnish with fresh strawberries and top with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, if needed. Serve immediately. The dressing will store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just whisk it before using if it has separated.

That's a wrap on my offering for the #SundayFunday strawberry event. Stay tuned. The group will be back next week with summer mocktails and cocktails. Stay tuned!
