Strawberry Rhubarb Dressing

This strawberry rhubarb dressing adds flavor to any spring or summer salad!  It is good with any greens, and pairs especially well with berries or any type of fruit.  My favorite combination of salad ingredients to drizzle it over are arugula, berries, and pistachios but feel free to be creative!
