Creamy Strawberry Balsamic Dressing
This Creamy Strawberry Balsamic Dressing comes together with just four simple ingredients and makes any ordinary salad taste sweet, tangy and absolutely delicious. Growing up, I never cared for salads, because our family didn’t make our own dressings and we usually just had the typical Ranch or Thousand Island dressing variety. Nothing wrong with those dressings at all, but it got boring after a while. Now that I’ve discovered how to easily make my own flavorful dressings, I adore piling fresh fruits and veggies in a bowl and drizzling them with homemade salad dressing. This one is my favorite because it’s sweet and savory, the perfect blend of both. And with only four ingredients, I can make this in a snap!
What Kind of Jam to Use in Creamy Strawberry Balsamic Dressing
I’m pretty picky when it comes to the strawberry jam I use in this dressing. It has to be the new Smucker’s Fruit & Honey Strawberry Fruit Spread. This tasty spread is made with real strawberries that are naturally sweetened with honey. The strawberry flavor is so fresh and sweet. We are big fans of Smucker’s because they are a family like us that believes in top quality products. We have seen it first hand and we won’t use anything else when it comes to jams. Smucker’s Strawberry Jam will also work great in this recipe. Smucker’s Fruit & Honey flavors available, click here.
