To prepare this ultimate dressing the following ingredients are required.

Strawberries - Fresh strawberries work great, frozen can also be used.

Greek yogurt - Plain greek yogurt works best. Flavored ones will result in a very sweet dressing. Regular yogurt makes it runny, so prefer to use thich Greek yogurt.

Apple cider vinegar - Gives that fresh zing and depth of flavor.

Salt - Adds flavor

Gochujang - Gochuang is a spicy red chilli paste with glutinous rice and fermented soy beans. This adds to the spicy heat giving that extra kick and punch.

Brown sugar - A little brown sugar balances the flavor.Garlic - Adds to the flavors.

What to serve with this dressing?

This creamy dressing can be used in many salads and sky's the limit. This can be served with some pita chips or flat breads, crunchy fruit, and crisp veggies and greens. Play around with different choices of greens and veggies, nuts, cheese  with a drizzle of this dressing.

Sometimes I mix and match the dressings that I use in my salad as variety always makes a difference to please myself and the whole family. In that context, I love to use this dressing with Strawberry Spinach Salad, Dal Sprouts Salad, and Grilled Nectarine and Feta Salad. This could be used in any way you think of to jazz up your salads.
