Strawberry Poppy Seed Dressing: A Symphony of Summer

The Flavor Profile
Our Strawberry Poppy Seed Dressing strikes a sophisticated balance between bold fruitiness and refined texture:
* The Base: A luscious purée of vine-ripened strawberries provides a natural, ruby-red sweetness and a velvety mouthfeel.
* The Tang: A bright splash of champagne vinegar adds a crisp, acidic backbone that cuts through the sweetness with elegance.
* The Crunch: Tiny, midnight-blue poppy seeds are folded throughout, offering a delicate nutty undertone and a satisfying architectural snap.
* The Finish: A whisper of honey and a touch of sea salt round out the profile, ensuring a smooth, lingering finish.
Perfect Pairings
While it shines on a classic spinach salad, this dressing is remarkably versatile:
| Pairing Component | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Greens | Baby arugula, tender butter lettuce, or crisp kale. |
| Cheeses | Creamy goat cheese, sharp feta, or shaved pecorino. |
| Proteins | Grilled Atlantic salmon, sliced duck breast, or toasted pecans. |
| Fruit | Fresh blueberries, sliced avocado, or mandarin oranges. |
