Why You Will Love This Recipe

I take pride in guiding my Well With Cannabis CommunityWell With Cannabis Community through the many different ways cannabis can be consumed and used to complement a happy & healthy holistic lifestyle.

While I’ve written about cooking with CBD hemp oil before, today I will be focusing on how to make a cannabis-infused strawberry vinaigrette.

Whether you want to make it with CBD oil, cannabis-infused MCT oil, or cannabis-infused olive oil is entirely your choice.

This guide will show you how to make the vinaigrette, prepare the salad, and includes multiple different infusion options for you to choose from.

What You’ll Need

Cannabis Strawberry Vinaigrette » Makes 10 ounces

• ½ cup sliced strawberries – you will be making a strawberry puree and will need 3 Tablespoons pureed strawberry in total for the recipe
• 3 Tablespoons white balsamic vinegar – do not confuse for regular balsamic, the white it much lighter and more enjoyable
• 1½ Tablespoons honey – you can use local or infused honey
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper – freshly ground if possible
• ¾ cup MCT oil – or any other infused oil like olive oil
• 20 mL Bliss MCT oil – Use my Bliss MCT oil for accurate and precise dosing. The vinaigrette makes 10, one ounce servings, so 20mL of Bliss MCT oil at 2.5mg THC:CBD per mL will result in a dose of 5mg THC:CBD per ounce.

Strawberry Burrata Salad » Makes 1 salad

• 1½ cups packed arugula
• ½ cup sliced strawberries
• 1 Tablespoon toasted slivered almonds
• 4 ounce burrata cheese ball

Cannabis Infusion Options

Choosing an infusion option should be based on your personal preferences and what you already have available on hand.

The options for this vinaigrette will include using CBD oil, cannabis-infused MCT oil, or cannabis-infused olive oil.

Homemade CBD Oil

In my Cannabis Compass Online Course, I teach my students that it is important to understand the different bioavailability rates with various cannabis consumption methods.

CBD is the non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant that is anecdotally used to help a wide range of conditions from pain management to general health and wellness.

Whether in the form of a salad dressing or CBD gummy, it is orally consumed when you eat CBD, resulting in a ~6% bioavailability rate.

This is because the CBD must travel through the digestive system and undergo the hepatic first-pass metabolism.

As an educator, I always like to remind my students that tincture, inhalation, and topicals all have around a ~30% bioavailability rate, making them a much more cost-effective way to use CBD.

Of course, eating CBD is wrong, and many people prefer to consume their cannabis this way.

As I always say, cannabis is a self-experiment; to each their own. Trust your own body and make responsible delicious, and you will be fine. 

This recipe can use either homemade CBD oil or store-bought CBD oil.

Cannabis MCT Oil

Cannabis-infused MCT oil is a popular cannabis infusion made with just cannabis flowers and MCT oil.

MCT oil remains liquid at room temperature, is completely clear with no color, and has no flavor.

Many people prefer liquid MCT oil for infusions because it is tasteless, and some people find it easier to digest than other oils.

The process for infusing MCT oil with cannabis is the same as making traditional infused coconut oil and can be achieved in many different ways.

You can use this simple at-home process with printable directions to make a crockpot cannabis-infused MCT oil, or you could use an infusion machine like the LEVO II to infuse for you.

Cannabis Olive Oil

Cannabis-infused olive oil is a light, delicious, and versatile cannabis infusion that is an important staple recipe for any cook to master.

Making infused olive oil is a straightforward process that uses heat to decarboxylate the cannabis flower and oil to infuse the cannabinoids from the plant. 

Our default infusion method involves combining the olive oil and cannabis flowers inside a mason jar and then submerging that mason jar inside a water bath made with a crockpot or slow cooker. 

This simple process allows you to essentially ‘set it and forget it’ once it is set up. 

The final product is a cannabis-infused olive oil that can make many delicious cannabis recipes like this popular tomato-cucumber salad.
