Time for July Secret Recipe Club Reveal Day!
This month I received the blog, Morsels of Life. The blog is lovely and there were tons of amazing recipes to pick from. I almost made the Peach, Onion and Bacon Salad because I have a beautiful crate of Georgia peaches that need to be used, but my mind was changed when I saw the ruby red final strawberries of the season at the farmer’s market. I searched for strawberry recipes and was torn between the Balsamic Strawberry Galette and the Roasted Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette. Ultimately, the appeal of roasted strawberries over a fresh green salad from my garden sounded too delicious to pass up. Don’t get me wrong I love making galettes and have bookmarked the recipe to try with the remainder of my strawberries.
This dressing is the bomb you guys- so flavorful and so fresh. I did not add the five spice to my dressing because I did not have any and it was very good without, but I am sure wonderful in the dressing as well. I served my dressing over a fresh romaine salad with sliced red onions and sliced fresh strawberries. It was amazing. I think a sprinkle of feta over the salad would be a great touch or it could be a delicious marinade for the grill as well.
I am sad that strawberry season is coming to a close. It is so useless to eat strawberries out of season because the flavor is not sweet and they are always disappointing. I love to soak up as many as I can when the season is good. I have to say that this is one of my new favorite recipes along with my fresh strawberry margaritas.
Thank you for a delicious recipe and check out the recipes from my fellow bloggers below!
