Creamy Strawberry Balsamic Dressing is creamy, sweet with a tangy kick and is made with only four ingredients! The very best dressing for salads or wraps.

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.

Suggestions for this Recipe
- Use a good quality mayonnaise for that extra creamy texture. There are a lot of good quality, lower calorie options. I like Best Foods, but you can try your favorite brand too!
- I try to use at least 2% milk or whole in this recipe. The creamier the better!
- Keep this dressing in the refrigerator, tightly covered or in a dressing bottle. It’ll stay nice and fresh for up to two weeks!
- Serve it over all kinds of salads, turkey or chicken wraps or as a fruit or veggie dip.
- You could try different flavors of jam for all kinds of dressing flavors. Peach, apricot, or blackberry would all be delicious!

This dressing is so delicious and creamy! Great recipe
I absolutely love this dressing! I use it on my salads all time! How many servings do you usually get out of this? I was trying to figure it out so I could put it in my fitness pal. Thanks!
Thanks for asking, Suzy! I’m so glad you like the dressing! There are 16 servings, and the serving size is 2 tablespoons.
Could you use greek yogurt instead of mayo?
Sure! It wouldn’t taste EXACTLY the same but it will still taste good.
Hi Ladies: Could you please tell me what kind of cheese you suggest; the type of cheese has to blend with this fabulous dressing! Many thanks,
I like to use gorgonzola or goat cheese. But my husband likes to use feta.
I just love this easy to make salad dressing!
