Rinse the strawberries and remove the stems. Line a baking sheet with foil, folding the edges up so that you create a small wall on all sides to prevent any juices from running out. Place in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until caramelized.
1 cup strawberries
Once the strawberries have cooked, add all the ingredients to a blender. Be sure to include the juices that came out of the berries while roasting. Purée the mixture until smooth and consistent. Serve cold and keep refrigerated.
¼ cup balsamic vinegar, ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon or homemade mustard, 1 clove garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper
