Strawberry Dressing

  • Condiment

This 3 minute homemade strawberry dressing is garden fresh and zingy. It tastes like a warm spring day! Use as a salad dressing, on sandwiches or as a dip for veggies.

  • Servings 3
  • Preparation
  • Cooking

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 fresh strawberries, washed and stems removed
  • 2 tbsp wine vinegar
  • 4 tbsp extra virgine olive oil
  • 2/3 tsp salt
  • A little pepper
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar

Directions

  • Place ingredients into the blender container and firmly secure the lid.
  • Turn the dial to start the blender and set the speed to “5” or “6”. Blend for 30 seconds.

If the acidity is too mild, you can add about 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.
This spring-like dressing is great drizzled over sea bream carpaccio or a salad of spring vegetables.

THE BEST DRESSINGS ARE ALWAYS HOMEMADE

Springtime means salads. And whether you prefer classic carrot ginger dressing – or skew more towards Mediterranean basil – it’s so simple to make refined salad dressings at home, it gives us pause when we see the preservative loaded jars at the grocery store. This strawberry dressing has a sweet and tangy brightness that we can’t get enough of. We always keep our blender handy in case of (frequent!) salad emergencys.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY DRESSING

Just measure out the ingredients and place everything into the jar of your Tiger Edge blender. Blend for about 30 seconds on medium speed until completely emulsified. Take a quick taste after shutting the blender off in case you’d like to quickly adjust the flavor.

For picnic season: make this at home and chill in the fridge. Before heading to the park, place the strawberry dressing in a vacuum insulated travel mug. It’ll stay perfectly chilled no matter how hot it is outside. Just give it a quick shake!

EXPERT TIPS AND VARIATIONS

Use different vinegar. We generally lean towards red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar when making this tangy dressing. But apple cider vinegar works – and elevates the presence of the strawberries even more.

Adjust the sugar depending on the strawberries. Strawberry season yields some seriously sweet berries. If the berries are extremely sweet, you may be able to omit the sugar altogether. And if the strawberries are more tart than sweet, you can add an extra pinch of sugar to even things out.

Make it more tart. A tablespoon of lemon juice (or a little extra vinegar)  immediately ratchets up the pucker factor.

Use it as more than a dressing. We love this over a green spring salad. But it works with quinoa salad, as a sauce for poke, beef carpaccio, on wraps or sandwiches and as a dip for sliced vegetables. The options are limitless!
