Ingredients:
- 8 Ripe Strawberries sliced thinly
- 8oz. can of Pineapple chunks
- 1 Large Carrot shredded
- 4 Handfuls of cleaned Baby Spinach Leaves
- 1/3 cup of Crumbled Blue Cheese

- Approx. 1/4 cup of juice from an 8oz. can of Pineapple chunks
- 2 tsp. Honey
- 4 Tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar
- 6 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Dressing
Using a food processor puree the berries with the pineapple juice, make sure there are no chunks before continuing. Then add the Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar and mix. Taste the mix and see if it is sweet enough, if not slowly add and mix the honey to your taste. Pour into a clean glass jar with a well fitting lid. It will keep in the fridge for about a month.
