Tips & Variations
- Add more apple cider vinegar (about 1-2 tablespoon extra if you like the taste). It may taste very strong when you taste-test it, but once added to the salad, it all comes together and balances the flavors.
- Sweetener - Sugar or sweetener is optional in this recipe, but it creates a good balance between sour, salty, and sweet. I usually try to avoid granulated white sugar and love to use muscovado or coconut sugar instead, not only it is a healthier choice but thanks to the texture, it dissolves in the food or drinks much better. The food simply tastes better with a light caramel flavor (depends on the amount you'll be adding of course). Alternatively add your favorite sweetener, stevia, honey, agave syrup, maple syrup, or else.
Different Ways To Use Strawberry Tops
Always save strawberry tops - don't throw them away! Here's what you can make with them:
- Make strawberry-infused water.
- Don't have a plan to use those tops right now? Place them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to a few days, or in the freezer for a few months, then pull them out when you're ready to use them.
- Another great way to use them is to infuse your favorite spirit with them (i usually keep them in my rum for few days).
- Add the tops to your favorite smoothies to get a little pink hue and hint of strawberries.
Strawberry Vinaigrette Uses
Here are a few of my tried and favorite foods to enjoy with the creamy dressing:
- Roasted vegetables like carrot, use vinaigrette instead of aioli in air fryer Brussels sprouts, beetroot (try adding a drizzle on top of beet salad), bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli.
- Strawberry Arugula Salad.
- To serve with a cheese platter or board with different cheeses.
- Dip fruits in it like apples, pears or peaches.
