This Strawberry Salad Dressing is made from very easy to find ingredients and is perfect for all your summer salads!
Strawberry Salad Dressing is easy to make and is the perfect addition to so many different salads. I love this on my Strawberry Bacon Salad, but it would be perfect over so many different combinations of greens and fruit.
Love it have been making it all summer!
How to Make Strawberry Salad Dressing
This is a brief overview of how easy this dressing is to make. For the full recipe, please see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Blend fresh strawberries. In a food processor or blender, combine fresh strawberries that have the greens removed and have been cut in half with orange juice, red onion, honey, and salt.
- Slowly blend in the olive oil.
- Taste and adjust seasonings. Depending on how you like your dressing you may want to add more honey or salt. Both can help in balancing the tartness in this recipe.
- Add in poppy seeds. Remove the dressing from the blender, and transfer it into the container you will store it in. Add in the poppy seeds and shake to combine.
Variations
- Leave out the honey. If you are watching your sugar intake, skip the honey. Depending on the ripeness of the strawberries, it might not be as sweet as you’d like, so you can always add in a sugar substitute like monk fruit.
- Use frozen strawberries. This is a great place to use frozen strawberries. Just thaw them before blending everything together, and cut back on the amount of orange juice you use to 1/4 cup.
- Leave out the poppy seeds. If you have a medical condition that prevents you from having seeds, just leave them out. You will still love this dressing.
How to Use Strawberry Dressing
As mentioned above, this would be great over lots of greens and fruit, but here are a few recipes I really think you will love it on:

I can’t have orange juice. What other juice do you recommend for this? It sounds amazing!
Lemon would be good with this! I would start with half the amount called for and play with it.

I am super excited about trying this. My son does not like the taste of vinegar so to find a salad dressing he will eat is tough. Thanks for giving us an option. 😎
I hope it is a hit with him!

could you use raspberries instead of strawberries? I love Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing but it is not always available.
Yes, however, raspberries can be a little more tart, so you may need more honey.
Teresa says
Delicious! Thank you for this!
You’re welcome!
Barbara Miles says
I made this and will make again but will leave the onion out. Do you think this would be good made with cherries? I love cherries.
I do! I love both fresh and dried cherries in salads.
Judy says
I made this dressing but my poppy seeds had gone stale so I had to leave that ingredient out. However I did add a tablespoon of strawberry balsamic glaze, without that it was delicious but the glaze added a nice tang! Thank you for a fabulous recipe.
I’m glad you liked it, Judy!
