Strawberry Pico Vinaigrette
This Strawberry Pico Vinaigrette is a sweet, tangy, and creamy burst of flavor with fresh strawberries, citrus, and a touch of spice. Perfect for any dish!
Strawberry Pico Vinaigrette
This isn’t your average vinaigrette. This Strawberry Pico Vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes your salad sing. Think about it: you’ve got the sweet, juicy strawberries paired with a zesty blend of citrusy orange and lime juice. Then, a little splash of apple cider vinegar adds that perfect tang. The egg yolk gives this dressing a rich, frothy texture that makes it feel more like a silky sauce than a vinaigrette.
The best part? You’ve got that fresh strawberry pico de gallo, which is packed with juicy strawberries, red onion, cilantro, and just a hint of jalapeño heat. Mix that with the dressing, and you’ve got a flavor combo that’ll make you wonder how you lived without it.
Here’s why I love this dish!
- The combo of fresh strawberries, citrusy orange and lime, and a kick of apple cider vinegar gives this Strawberry Pico Vinaigrette a flavor profile that’s out of this world. It’s the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and just a little bit spicy!
- Thanks to the egg yolk, this vinaigrette is smoother than any dressing you’ve tried before. It’s almost like a sauce, which means it’ll coat your salad perfectly and elevate every bite.
- The addition of strawberry pico de gallo brings a burst of crunch and freshness, with the zing of red onion, cilantro, and a hint of jalapeño. It’s not just a dressing – it’s a full-on flavor-packed experience!
Serve it on this Strawberry Pico Wedge Salad and serve it with Parmesan Crusted Tilapia and Tarter Sauce.
