Strawberry Salad Dressing
Description
The Strawberry Salad Dressing uses a combination of red wine vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, and salt blended first to create a balanced acidic and slightly sweet base. Vegetable oil is slowly incorporated to achieve a thickened, emulsified consistency. Fresh strawberries are blended in to give a natural fruity sweetness and smooth texture. Optional straining can refine the texture further.
Poppy seeds stir in last add delicate crunch and an extra layer of mild flavor. The dressing is light and does not overpower the fresh flavors of salad greens, making it especially suitable for spinach or arugula-based salads.
Using a light-flavored oil maintains the delicate taste of strawberry. This dressing can be prepared ahead and refrigerated but is best used fresh to preserve the vibrant fruit notes.

Notes
