The perfect salad with the perfect Homemade Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

What’s the difference between a good vinaigrette and a bad vinaigrette? Simply……The Ingredients! You don’t have to spend a ton on olive oil to get a good quality olive oil. In fact my favorite is the Trader Joe’s brand. I get a large bottle for $10. Balsamic on the other hand is a different story. You DO need to spend a little bit on Balsamic Vinegar to get a good vinegar. I like to spend at least $10 (that’s on the low end).
