Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker dressing, you can strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove excess liquid. If strawberries are out of season, substitute with raspberries or blueberries for a similar flavor. Adjust the honey based on your sweetness preference; agave syrup can also work well. Nutmeg adds warmth, but cinnamon could be a delightful alternative.
