Braising Greens in Strawberry-Honey Vinaigrette #LocavoreFeast #Sponsored

No dinner party is complete without a few fresh salads, I say. And for a recent Locavore Feast, I wanted to use the wildflower honey from Carmel Honey Company in a hearty salad with greens from Serendipity Farms.* Ever grateful that two of my favorite purveyors donated to this fundraising dinner.

Ingredients

Strawberry Vinaigrette

• 1 C strawberries, stemmed and quartered
• 1 T honey 
• 5 T red wine vinegar 
• 1/3 C olive oil 
• 1 t salt 
• 1/4 t black pepper

Salad

• greens, thinly sliced (I used the Braising Greens Mix from Serendipity 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 (I forgot to add this. Whoops!)

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.
