{Recipe Redux} Strawberry & Goat Cheese Salad

Not only is it finally spring, but also the time for graduation parties, bridal showers, and weddings galore. If you’re struggling to think of a dish to take to the next shower or get-together on your schedule, this month’s Recipe Redux theme will be a great source of inspiration!

This Strawberry & Goat Cheese Salad is perfect for a Sunday brunch or celebratory party because it is so easy to make and always a crowd pleaser. What really puts the salad over the top is the homemade Blackberry Balsamic vinaigrette. It’s so simple to make salad dressing and vinaigrette at home with just a few basic ingredients. I love using fresh herbs, infused vinegars and olive oils in my homemade concoctions. Olive oil and vinegar shops are popping up in bigger cities, which is where I purchased my Blackberry Balsamic, but you can also order it online here. Regular balsamic vinegar would work just fine in place of the blackberry variety, just  add a teaspoon of honey to give a hint of sweetness. The walnuts could be substituted with pecans, and if strawberries aren’t in season, you can switch them out for dried cranberries.
