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!
Strawberry Dressing
After loving this salad dressing on our Strawberry Bacon Salad, I decided to use it on this delicious Fried Goat Cheese Salad too. Both incorporate sweet and savory flavors with a variety of textures – so this dressing is perfect in both recipes.
I try to make a large salad at the start of each week to make sure we get our greens! We enjoy trying new flavor combinations and textures so we’re game for almost anything.
Why This Recipe Works:
- SIMPLE – You’ll need just five ingredients plus salt and pepper for this simple salad dressing. Most of these are pantry staples.
- FRESH AND DELICIOUS – Strawberry season is the best! We love using fresh seasonal produce as often as we can and adding strawberries to salad dressings makes sense. Delish!
- GORGEOUS COLOR – That pink color screams SPRING, right? We love the pop of color strawberries add to salads. We eat with our eyes too!
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.
- Mustard – Dijon mustard makes the dressing creamy.
- Honey – Necessary for sweetness, but you could use regular sugar too (but less).
- Salt & Pepper – Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, always.
To make the dressing:
Just a five minute process, friends! This is why I love making homemade dressings. Simple and SO MUCH tastier than store-bought dressings.
- Simply, place all ingredients in a blender, and pulse until creamy.
- Store the dressing in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- The dressing will stay fresh for several days.
Frequently Asked Questions:
