The original recipe in Simply in Season is for raspberry vinaigrette dressing, but since I have some strawberries on my counter I thought I’d give it a try using them. Then I brought it to my parent’s house (along with some of the abundant lettuce we received from the CSA) for Sunday dinner.
In a blender, blend the following until smooth:
- 1/2 C maple syrup
- 1/2 C oil
- 1/3 C lemon juice
- 1/3 C strawberries
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Then add the following and pulse briefly:
- 1 Tbs red onion
- 2 Tbs poppy seeds (optional)
The Verdict: Everyone loved it, but I thought it was a bit on the sweet side to use with the butter lettuce. I think this would work well with just about any fruit.

I was thinking last night it would be good to make a fruity vinaigrette! I bet it would be good with spinach.
I like that your mom wanted you to take a picture! Her shortcakes looks delicious!
I’m on a new kick where I want fruit with every salad. Maybe this would be a good option for me.
Found this website and used your recipe! Just wanted to let you know that it came out great! Made a strawberry arugula salad with almonds, goat cheese and your dressing. Very Good. Thanks : )
that sounds so good! Glad the dressing turned out for you. I bet it would go perfectly with the tangy goat cheese. Yum!
