Strawberry Salad Dressing
Strawberry Salad Dressing is the quintessential dressing for springtime! Combining fresh strawberries with olive oil, mustard, honey, and some fresh lemon juice makes this the perfect tasty dressing for so many healthy salads!
Homemade Salad Dressings are the key to delicious salads. Besides THIS one, I love my Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette, my light Honey Mustard Dressing, and my Chipotle Ranch Dressing (that’s also perfect for all the Tex-Mex things)!
After loving this salad dressing on my Strawberry Bacon Salad, I decided to use it on my NEW Fried Goat Cheese Salad. Both incorporate savory and sweet flavors with a variety of textures, so the dressing is perfect in both recipes.
I don’t know about you, but I try to make a large salad at the start of each week. That way I can get my greens! I love making different kinds, and lately I’m into my Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad and my Spinach Salad with Honey Dijon Dressing. If you want something different, give my Cauliflower Salad with Lemon Dressing a try!
Ingredients for Strawberry Salad Dressing:
- Strawberries – Use fresh strawberries for this dressing. Just one cup of chopped berries needed.
- Olive Oil – I prefer extra-virgin olive oil, but you could use what you have.
- Lemon – Just a tad of lemon to add freshness.
