Notes

Rice vinegar and mirin can be found in the Asian section of most well-stocked supermarkets.  Substitutes: White wine vinegar for the rice vinegar and dry sherry or sweet marsala for the mirin.  NOTE: Mirin has very low alcohol content, whereas sherry and marsala will have higher levels.
Frozen strawberries can be used if fresh are not available. 
The vinaigrette can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, but is at its freshest when served immediately, or within 2 days.  
We recommend that if not serving immediately, let the dressing come to room temperature before serving.
