Honey-Balsamic Vinaigrette

Posted by Sharona Lomberg on

Strawberries and spinach are always a great go-to for a bright, fresh salad on a warm summer evening. This version with gorgonzola cheese and a Mac-nut honey-based vinaigrette has an extra depth of flavor and that wonderful sweet-savory combination.
