This strawberry dressing is fantastic! I added 1 ts grenadine for colour, which is not absolutely necessary, though.

Awesome salad. I love the strawberry/orange flavor of this dressing very fresh tasting. More honey can be added depending on the sweetness of your strawberries. Mine were very sweet so I only used three teaspoons, just right for our tastes. The asparagus spears are a nice addition to this salad. First time having strawberry dressing on a salad I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for posting this recipe its one that we will enjoy again!

Awesome! I followed the recipe as posted and it was perfect. I have never made strawberry dressing before; it was spectacular. I took this to a bbq this weekend - the recipe makes enough to share as a side-dish with a crowd. Thanks for sharing; I'll be making this again!
