Sesame Strawberry Salad

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.

There are so many smells I love in the kitchen — homemade bread, freshly cut pineapple, any sort of roasting garlic — mmm, the list goes on and on… But if I were ever forced to pick an absolute favorite, there would be no contest. My answer would be two simple words:

Sesame oil.

My heart may or may not skip a little beat each time I get to reach in the cabinet for that fabulous little bottle of goodness. :)  It’s divine!!

Thus, to offer a slight alternative on the standard balsamic and strawberry salad, I recommend this little gem of a recipe. It’s great for fruity salads, marinades, and whatever else you can dream up. And its delightfulness is, of course, all due to the you-know-what. Enjoy!!
