Can I use frozen strawberries?

Frozen strawberries do not work in this salad. When they thaw they are too mushy and soggy. You can use frozen strawberries in this strawberry chocolate banana smoothie or this strawberry apple crisp .

Can I use a store bought balsamic vinaigrette?

You can use a store bought dressing instead, but this homemade one tastes SO much better!
