Strawberry Vinaigrette & Spinach Salad


After vacation & eating out for a week straight I was SOOOOO happy to be home & fixing my own clean eats again.  It is nice to have someone else doing the cooking & dishes, but having very little control of your daily menu can be distressing.  So even though we were meeting up with friends for an evening around the pool, I whipped this delicious salad & homemade dressing to share.

Strawberry Vinaigrette
In a blender combine 6-8 ripe strawberries, 4 oz. raw apple cider vinegar, the juice of one lemon, 1 Tbls. freshly ground black pepper, a pinch of sea salt.  Blend for approximately one minute (until smooth / free of chunks).  Then stream in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil while still blending until well combined.

I put this lovely concoction on top of a bed of baby spinach, cucumbers, sliced strawberries, sunflower seeds, pecans, and a few ounces of goat cheese.  Add a little grilled chicken or fish for a completely delightful meal!
