                    The Strawberry Mothership has landed in our kitchen! A dressing I just  whipped  up. Try this drizzled over Romaine lettuce! To that add a few slices of Vidalia Onion and a sprinkle of raisins or nuts-not shaken, not stirred. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1/3-1/2 cup strawberry, hulled and diced  |  
                                                2 tablespoons lemon juice or 2 tablespoons grapefruit juice  |  
                                                1 teaspoon lemon zest or 1 teaspoon grapefruit zest, grated  |  
                                                1/4 cup water  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon vanilla sugar (read *note)  |  
                                                2 tablespoons heavy cream  |  
                                                salt, to taste  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper  |  
                                                2 tablespoons champagne vinegar or 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar  |  
                                                2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil  |  
                                                1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. *NOTE: In place of vanilla sugar, substitute 1/4 teaspoon raw sugar and 2 drops pure vanilla extract. 2. Best if salad dressing is prepared at least 1 hour in advance. 3. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Or, in a small non-reactive bowl using an immersion blender, blend ingredients until smooth. 4. Taste and adjust seasonings before serving. Whisk before serving, too. 5. Yield is estimated.                              |
