Hurrah it’s finally spring … my favorite things in the spring are the spring flowers and rhubarb and asparagus … and spring salads. Oh I love a good salad. And I love a good homemade salad dressing.
The past couple days have been chilly. I’ll be glad when we get back to spring temps … then I’ll want another spring berry salad. With this heavenly dressing. It’s strawberry rhubarb pie in a salad dressing. It dresses up a spring salad so perfectly.

Strawberry Rhubarb Vinaigrette
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: About 1 1/2 cups of dressing 1x
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups mixed chopped strawberries & rhubarb (2/3 cup fruit with juices after cooking)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- A few fresh basil leaves
- A small slice of fresh ginger root
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Put the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar and vanilla in a small saucepan and stir. Let sit for about 15 minutes so the strawberry and rhubarb juices start to appear. Cook over medium heat for about 10 – 15 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the rhubarb is just getting tender (but before it falls apart completely).
- Put 2/3 cup of the strawberry rhubarb mixture (with juices!) in a handi chopper or blender with the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Let cool before using on a salad. Store any unused dressing in an airtight container in the fridge.

I’ve had strawberries in a salad before, but never in a salad dressing. Will have to give this a try. Thanks again for sharing on The Weekend Social.
Great recipe for dressings. Love the idea of the strawberries and rhubarb together. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays.
I love everything strawberry and rhubarb, but I was skeptical of all these ingredients going well together – they did! I will be adding this to my regular dressing rotation, awesome flavour! Thx!
