Trader Joe's doesn't want you to have to suffer through any boring summer salads, which is why it has released a tangy new Strawberry Basil Vinaigrette for everyone's favorite season.
The new Strawberry Basil Vinaigrette is a sweet, yet tangy dressing made from a combination of real strawberry purée, strawberry juice concentrate, cane sugar, basil, and tart lemon juice concentrate. All these ingredients are then layered with tangy, white balsamic vinegar and expeller-pressed canola oil to great a zippy, herbaceous, and fruity dressing that's versatile enough for a variety of dishes. While it makes the perfect pairing for fruit-forward summer salads, the dressing is also a great addition to savory dishes like pasta salads with roasted corn, grilled chicken, or shrimp skewers hot off the barbeque.
