The new Strawberry Basil Vinaigrette is a sweet, yet tangy dressing made from a combination of real strawberry purée, strawberry juice concentrate, cane sugar, basil, and tart lemon juice concentrate. All these ingredients are then layered with [tangy, white balsamic vinegar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-miso-vinaigrette) and expeller-pressed canola oil to great a zippy, herbaceous, and fruity dressing that's versatile enough for a variety of dishes. While it makes the perfect pairing for [fruit-forward summer salads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newmans-own-2), the dressing is also a great addition to savory dishes like pasta salads with roasted corn, grilled chicken, or shrimp skewers hot off the barbeque.
