Strawberry Sonomic Salad

Ripe juicy strawberries and Sonomic Gold shine in this salad dressing.

Dressing:

1/3 cup strawberry puree

1 Tbs. Sonomic Gold

1 Tbs. red wine vinegar

1 small shallot, minced

1 Tbs. fresh tarragon, chopped

1 Tbs. fresh thyme, chopped

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

1/3 cup walnut oil

Salt and pepper

Put the first 7 ingredients into a cuisinart and pulse to combine. With the cuisinart running, slowly drizzle in the walnut oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Use the dressing on a salad with mixed greens, sliced strawberries and Pt. Reyes Blue Cheese. Sprinkle the salad with walnuts and serve.
