- Toss it with salad greens
- Marinade pork or chicken

Simple Salad Serving Suggestion:
This combination of strawberry balsamic and Persian lime olive oil makes a bright, flavorful vinaigrette for a simple summer salad of greens and fresh fruit.
What you need:
- Salad greens (butter lettuce, spinach, massaged kale or mixed greens)
- Sliced strawberries
- Blueberries
- Walnuts or pecans, plain or candied
- Just enough of the balsamic and oil vinaigrette to lightly coat the greens
- Optional: crumbled feta
Chef’s note: A little vinaigrette goes a long way. Toss greens with vinaigrette before adding toppings. Plate greens then finish with toppings or toss dressed greens with toppings before plating. If greens are evenly and lightly coated, the salad will have just the right amount of dressing.
