Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

One of our favorite parts of writing this blog is learning about new foods and experimenting with new recipes. We came up with this recipe while looking for ways to use chia seeds. Chia seeds have been a great addition to our diet, click here to find out why.

This dressing tastes great with a spinach salad.  Love it!  We're making it again today so we can bring it with our salads during the work week.

Ingredients

• 14 strawberries, or ~14 oz, leaves removed
• 1 teaspoon pure cane sugar
• Salt, pepper
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
