What Ingredients are in Strawberry Salad Dressing?

• Canola Oil: Provides a smooth and neutral base for the dressing, but olive oil or grapeseed oil are also good options.
• Fresh Strawberries: Infuses the strawberry honey salad dressing with natural sweetness and vibrant color.
• Honey: just a little bit adds a touch of sweetness to balance the tartness of the vinegar.

Pro Tip: Fresh ingredients like perfectly ripe strawberries will give you the best flavor infusion in your strawberry vinaigrette dressing. 

 

 

How to Make Strawberry Salad Dressing:

1. Combine all ingredients in a mini hand chopper or food processor.
2. Blend until smooth and well combined.
3. Adjust sweetness or tartness according to taste preference.
4. Transfer to a jar or container for storage.
5. Shake well before serving to ensure even distribution of flavors.
6. Drizzle generously over your favorite summer salads.

Pro Tip: For a smoother texture, strain the dressing through a fine mesh sieve before serving. This removes any seeds or lumps that may not have blended when mixing.

 

 

Can I Use Frozen Strawberries in Strawberry Salad Dressing?

Yes you can use frozen strawberries as a substitute for fresh ones in this salad dressing.

Allow them to thaw before blending to ensure a smooth consistency.

How to Store Strawberry Salad Dressing?

Store the fresh strawberry dressing in a sealed jar or airtight container in the refrigerator.

I like to keep mine in a mason jar so I can give it a good shake before serving later in the week.

 

 

How Long Does Strawberry Salad Dressing Last?

When stored properly in the refrigerator, homemade salad dressing can last for up to one week.

I never have a problem using this dressing.

Can You Freeze Strawberry Salad Dressing?

Yes you can freeze this strawberry dressing with honey!

If you are planning to freeze it, I recommend straining it so the dressing is nice and smooth which will help with the texture when you thaw it to use later.

Yes, this homemade strawberry salad dressing is a healthier alternative to store-bought options.

It’s made with natural ingredients and contains no artificial additives or preservatives.

Is Strawberry Salad Dressing Gluten-Free?

Yes this strawberry salad dressing is gluten-free!  

That means this strawberry salad recipe is a great option for those with a medically restrictive diet.

 

 

Is Strawberry Salad Dressing Vegan?

No, as written this strawberry salad dressing is not vegan because it uses honey which is an animal byproduct.

However it is easily made vegan by using maple syrup instead of honey to sweeten the dressing.

Then it is a tasty strawberry dressing for your vegan friends and family.
