STRAWBERRY AND SPINACH SALAD WITH HONEY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
This is a great easy summer salad, with a lot of options as to mixing and matching. Plus the salad looks pretty fancy. You can throw in any summer fruit or berry with this mix, blueberries and raspberries are a good choice, as are blackberries later in the season. The nuts are optional but a pecan or roasted almond adds a little crunch and more protein!

HONEY GARLIC BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
This recipe is slightly different than the others posted as it doesn't include mustard. Quite sweet with a garlic balsamic ending. I always double the recipe - the amount as posted might serve 2 people. Can be used as a salad dressing or marinade.

PARTY SALAD WITH BALSAMIC HONEY-MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE
The vinaigrette is asy to make and emulsifies beautifully and can be made right in your salad bowl. If whisked properly it won't separate on you for a long time. Use the salad ingredients that you like. This is how I fixed it the last time I served it and it was a hit. Yummy!

Steps:
- In your salad bowl whisk mustard, salt, pepper, vinegar briskly until very well combined. Add the vinegar and whisk for about a minute. Add honey and whisk for about 30 seconds. It should be thick. Whisk in the shallot and garlic.
- Dribble the olive oil into the base very slowly whisking all the while. The olive oil should be completely incorporated as you dribble. This is important so if you see oil in a ring around the vinegar, keep whisking! After all of the oil is mixed in, keep whisking for a few seconds more to ensure the emulsification.
- Just before serving add your salad fixings, romaine, carrots, tomatoes, scallions, herbs, what you like. Toss and add the walnuts and cheese to the top.
- Serve on chilled plates.
- I have made this in a punch bowl to serve about 35 people.
- If you want, you can store the dressing in the refrigerator in a jar for everyday use.

Steps:
- Whisk together the vinegar, honey, olive oil, and soy sauce until the honey has dissolved, and the dressing is smooth.
Tips:
- For a tangy and flavorful vinaigrette, use a high-quality balsamic vinegar. Look for one that is aged for at least 12 years.
- If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- Use a mild-flavored honey, such as clover honey or wildflower honey. Avoid using a honey that is too strong or overpowering, as it will overpower the other flavors in the vinaigrette.
- If you don't have honey, you can substitute sugar or maple syrup.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried oregano.
- Whisk the vinaigrette until the ingredients are well combined. If the vinaigrette is too thick, you can add a little bit of water or oil.
- Use the vinaigrette immediately or store it in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Balsamic honey vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads and dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful dressing, give balsamic honey vinaigrette a try.
