I love quick and easy meal options, especially for lunch.  I hate the hassle and time it takes to cook and clean when only preparing a healthy lunch for myself while everyone is at school.  This homemade strawberry balsamic salad and Healthy Choice® Simply Cafe Steamers® is the perfect solution for my busy schedule.

I love strawberries.  A few years back I had my first taste of strawberries with balsamic vinegar and black pepper.  It was amazing.  The sweetness mixed with the spice of pepper and sour of vinegar is a combo I never thought I would like.  Funny part was, it was on top of ice cream!  The dessert was heavenly.  Therefore, I knew I would love it on my salads.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Sliced Strawberries
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2-4 tablespoons canola oil (depending on preference of thickness)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar

How to Make Homemade Strawberry Balsamic Salad Dressing

Add the above ingredients into your blender and mix until smooth.  Store the dressing in a jar and use as desired.

You can prepare the salad dressing over the weekend and use it on your salads during the busy work week.  The fresh strawberry balsamic salad dressing will be delicious for several days.  A salad is the perfect side dish for the Healthy Choice® Simply Cafe Steamers® Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry.

We stocked our freezer with several variations of the Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers.  They are so simple to make – just four minutes in the microwave, have a delicious fresh taste, and no artificial ingredients.

The one that I paired with the strawberry salad was the Chicken & Vegetable Stir Fry.  The 100% Natural Chicken meat and veggies steam fresh right in the microwave.  The sauce is in the bottom compartment of the dish.  As soon as you remove the meal from your microwave you can see the steam coming from the container.  Be careful, it is extremely hot.

Often times I’ve attempted to steam veggies in the microwave and they become soggy.  I love the steaming container technology that Healthy Choice provides.  The vegetables came out with the right amount of crispness while still tasting thoroughly steamed.

The flavorful meal is made complete when you mix the ingredients in the top bowl with the sauce in the bottom.

Working from home I stay busy during the day.  Since no one else in home to bug me about cooking a meal I often forget to feed myself.  The best part of these Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers is how easy and fast they are without feeling like I’m skimping myself on taste or health.
