Now this is one of those salads that I just can't wait to share with you guys. I've always wanted to make a strawberry dressing, but thought it would be too much work. Then I found this recipe for strawberry jam dressing and it was so easy!

This dressing comes together in no time and it's easily some of the best I've ever had. I mean what's not to love about strawberries??

The dressing complements the saltiness of the bacon and parmesan and goes perfectly with the heat of the red pepper and onion.
