This sounds sooooo good!

Fresh Eating

Katie:  After realizing how many artificial ingredients and how much sugar (8 grams per serving!) were in the low-fat salad dressing I’d been using, I decided to make my own dressing.  I used this recipe from Cooking Light, which was super quick to make.  I ended up with a delicious and healthier dressing that tastes great, especially with spinach.  Since it was so easy to make, I think I’ll definitely experiment with other homemade dressing in the future!

Strawberry Salad Dressing  (from Cooking Light)

• 2 cups whole strawberries
• 1/3 cup champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Blend everything in a blender or food processor.  It’s that simple!
