Categories: Salad

Ingredients

• For the dressing:
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
• 21/2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
• 11/2 tbsp. champagne*
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• Pinch of salt
• For the salad:
• Baby spinach leaves, rinsed and dried
• Sliced almonds, for topping
• Sliced fresh strawberries, for topping

Directions

1. *I like to buy mini bottles of champagne for cooking, rather than have to open a whole bottle for a couple tablespoons. In a pinch I have also used white wine and the dressing still tastes great. Another option is to skip the separate vinegar and champagne, and instead use champagne vinegar (about 3 tbsp.)

2. Directions:

3. In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, vinegar, champagne, sugar and salt. Process until the mixture is well combined and completely smooth. Transfer to an airtight bottle or container and refrigerate until ready to use.

4. To serve, portion baby spinach leaves out on salad plates. Drizzle with the strawberry champagne vinaigrette. Top with sliced almonds and strawberries. Serve immediately.
