  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon poppyseeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, and Dijon mustard. This mix sets the base for a smooth and flavorful dressing.
  2. Blend Smooth: Blend until smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no chunks and the texture is creamy.
  3. Add Poppyseeds and Season: Stir in the poppyseeds gently by hand and season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  4. Chill: Pour the dressing into a jar or bottle and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.

Notes

  • The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
  • For a smoother dressing, strain out the strawberry seeds after blending if preferred.
  • Use fresh and ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • If you prefer a tangier taste, increase the apple cider vinegar slightly.
