Thank you everyone for your kind messages on my 100th (previous) post! I’m glad you enjoyed my “baked” dessert and I do hope that I will be able to make more desserts in the future.
Today I’d like to share a delicious strawberry salad dressing before the strawberry season is over. I know it not quite time yet but we should all enjoy strawberries while they last! When I just started blogging, one of the sites I had found was Peggy’s blog, My FIANCE Likes It, So It MUST Be Good. I can’t remember how many recipes I have bookmarked from her site, and this was one of them. I recently gave it a try and it turned out to be really delicious and our entire family enjoyed it, even the little ones. I pretty much followed her recipe with a slight change, I added one squeeze of lemon and also sprinkle walnuts over the salad. Thanks Peggy for the great recipe!
Happy Father’s Day Weekend everyone!

- 1 cup strawberries (1 cup = about 5.5 oz)
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- ½ lemon (½ lemon = 1 Tbsp juice) (squeezed)
- Mixed green
- 2-3 strawberries (sliced)
- Roasted walnuts (optional)
- Wash strawberries and prepare mixed green in a serving dish.
- Right before you serve salad, combine strawberries, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor and mix until smooth. Serve the dressing in a bowl or small pitcher and pour the dressing before you eat.

Here I am! 🙂
This dressing is very particular and interesting! I should try it, before the strawberries season goes off… soon 🙁
Such a simple easy yet delectable dressing! Will become a summer staple in my house!
Nice and simple, I will remember this. I had sort of a similar salad with tomato yesterday, I can see how strawberries will blend in nicely, thanks for sharing
I think I have to wait until next year to try, strawberry season is over 🙁
This is amazing, Nami. Love the dressing, sounds so tangy and a wonderful taste of the start of summer. Love the touch with the walnuts.
All I can say is WOW!
What a fantastic idea! I am a big fan of fruits in salads! But I had never thought of using it as a dressing! Very clever! I have bookmarked it for our strawberry season! 😉 Happy Father’s Day weekend to you guys… in Australia we celebrate in September! 😉
I’ve never seen a dressing like this and I think it looks just perfect! Yum!
I’ve never had or heard of strawberry dressing but, I’m ready to try this…it looks tasty!
What a beautiful dressing! So nice for summer. I can’t wait to try it.
I seldom prepare salad and only know to buy from supermarket the ready pack salad. Beside this lovely salad, what other dishes you serve along with this salad ?
I love love strawberries… it’s so versatile! you could make it as a smoothie, you could make it as a fruit combo with a dessert, you could have it doled up with cream ahhh luscious cream or you could have it as healthy as your salad… and yeah not to mention the kind of dressing that you have.. it’s a refreshing way to use strawberries. Love it!

Strawberry salad dressing sounds so so so amazing. I cannot wait for strawberry season to roll around again so I can try this!!
I love strawberries too especially the one from Korea. Your strawberries salad looks so pretty and yummy. I going to try this..thanks for sharing Nami 🙂
Beautiful photos Nami! I always love fresh fruits in my salad dressings!
This looks great- i love the color in your photos. How long do you think this dressing keeps for? I have a bunch of strawberries I need to eat that I bought to do various things with, but I’ve been too tired this week. LOL This salad looks so fresh and summery!
This sounds like the simplest ever dressing & new to me.I just know what to do with my greens & strawberry box sitting in fridge for 2 days.I usually use up the leftover fruits in baking etc- this dressing idea is so unique — thanks for sharing.Have a lovely weekend!
This is a fantastic recipe, I will have to try it before the strawberry season is over! Love the addition of lemon and walnuts… Thanks for sharing! Have a good weekend! 🙂
Strawberries are my favorite…but I haven’t tried using it for dressing! Thanks for the awesome idea, Nami!
Strawberry salad dressing sounds wonderful! Yummy!
Nami, I have never had strawberries in a savoury salad (only fruit salads), but both the salad and the sauce are very seducing. The dressing reminds me the hot strawberry sauce I make every year and, if you say it is very good, then it confirms once more the fact that strawberries go very well with the vinegar! I must try your salad before the strawberry season ends.
On your photos the dressing looks like a strawberry smoothie. Weren’t you tempted to drink it 😉 ? Have a great weekend and have a well merited rest!
I just love fruits in salads. The sweetness and tang just goes so well with the salad greens. What beautiful photos those are. Perfect plates of salad.
This dressing looks delicious and so beautiful!!! Perfect for strawberry season 🙂
Nami, what a simple, beautiful salad! I love a sweet dressing on greens…and the berries just add to my delight!
Oh this sounds delicious! I love having fruit with my salad. And your pictures are just so bright and perfect!
This looks good. I wonder if my strawberry crazed boys would actually eat nama-yasai with this dressing on. Maybe I should try this this weekend ; ) Have a great weekend!
Sounds so good! We had a similar raspberry dressing recently…so wonderful!
What a beautiful salad! And Nami!!!!! You’re positive vibes worked! I sold my car today! THANK you for your energy! 😀
Yummy Nami, easy enough to make regularly. Your photograpy skills are amazing.
A lovely salad with a nice fruity dressing! Enjoy your weekend, Nami!
awesome dressing Peggy is a fab cook, have a great weekend 🙂
Sounds really fab! Unfortunately it’s the middle of winter here in NZ so I’ll be bookmarking this for the next round of strawberries =)
What a wonderful salad, and the dressing sounds amazing! I’m gonna have to make it! 🙂
This recipe is so good and so simple and I would have never thought of this! I love strawberries so I will definitely give this a try!
Great recipe, Nami! Honestly, I get in such a rut with salads and dressings. Thanks for sharing it from Peggy. I love her blog too!
Looks really nice and fresh! Perfect for tropical weather!
I love Peggy’s recipes and this one is one I have had bookmarked too! You’ve done a great job with it, Nami! That salad looks really refreshing and tasty… And I am sure it was, with that fabulous dressing & those toasted walnuts (not at all optional to me!) Great post!
Hmmm… This looks too good! I think it would even go perfectly on a steak salad! Thanks for sharing Nami 🙂 Have a good weekend!
This looks very intriguing…Salad with strawberry dressing! It does sound very refreshing and it certainly looks very pretty :)!
Oh Nami you did such a great job with this (if not better!) I love your addition of lemon juice and the walnuts are a brilliant idea, as well! Can’t wait to try this again your way =)
I will certainly use this on my next salad!
I’m always a fan on sweet and savoury together. This dressing will hit a spot in me with the colour and flavours! SOOO fresh!
Aww, this is so pretty! 😀 And using strawberries for the dressing as well is a great idea! 😀
Strawberry and olive oil??? This is very new to me, but it does look very refreshing! You`re right. We should make the most of the strawberries while they still last 🙂
Yum! This sounds delicious. I’m still waiting on REALLY good strawberries…I still havne’t been able to get my hands on any. But when I do, I definitely want to make a salad…love berries in savory salads.
Hope you and your family are enjoying a nice Father’s Day!
Hi Nami! This strawberry dressing is very unique! This is my first time seeing ‘Strawberry Dressing’! 😀
