A yummy salad dressing is an integral part of any holiday meal. But let’s be honest, adorning our salad with the same old balsamic dressing gets boring and can make eating salad somewhat of a chore.
“Salad, again??”
This year, up your salad game and excite your guests with this superfood-laden Goldenberry Dressing!
Goldenberries aren’t your typical North American salad fare, yet they have been cultivated in South America for centuries.
Incorporating the special tang of goldenberries into your salad dressing easily adds a dynamic, mouth-puckering superfood punch that will leave your taste buds happy and your body jumping for nutritional joy! Think antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C, and complex B vitamins flooding your body while your mouth does a happy dance (powered by the 16% protein of the goldenberries).
The Perfect Combination of Oil & Vinegar
In an outstanding salad dressing, olive oil and vinegar blend to create a perfect marriage of equal parts delicious and nutritious.
The different names for olive oil indicate the degree of processing the oil has undergone, as well as the quality of the oil. Extra-virgin olive oil is the highest grade available and the word “virgin” indicates that the olives have been pressed to extract the oil without heat or chemicals. It contains the highest levels of polyphenols (antioxidants that have been linked with better health). Beautiful skin and healthy cells, here you come!
Apple cider vinegar has long been touted as superior over other vinegars because of it’s incredible health benefits. We’re pretty sure there isn’t a system in your body that this health-enhancing vinegar won’t supportively love up.
Take your goldenberries, your olive oil, your vinegar, and add in some raw organic honey, add in a little Himalayan Salt, and all of your holiday guests will be talking about your salad dressing for years to come!
The only downside? You may need to double the recipe because it’s going to disappear FAST!
Sweet and Tangy Goldenberry Salad Dressing Recipe
Goldenberry Salad Dressing Ingredients:
½ cup goldenberries, soaked in water to soften and drained
½ cup organic extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup raw organic honey
2 TBS apple cider vinegar
2 tsp dijon mustard
½ tsp Himalayan Salt
Additional spring water to desired consistency
Salad Ingredients:
Organic greens (romaine, spinach, or mixed greens)
Fresh organic strawberries, sliced
Directions:
In advance, soak the goldenberries to make them soft, then drain the soak water or use it in a smoothie. Place soaked goldenberries, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, and salt into a blender and blend until well combined. There will probably be some chunks of goldenberries that don’t combine and that is OK. Add spring water to reach desired consistency. Slice the strawberries and toss them in with mixed greens, then serve with the dressing.
