well my husband and I loved this recipe we had it at a wedding once and I found it online! Looked up the calories and OUCH 380 something per serving I really don't see what would be bad...when I took the sugar down to 1/4 cup splenda the calorie count went up 20? maybe the computer messed up but I want to make this tonight! HELP ME OH FAM

can't really help you with your recipe....but that looks alot like a recipe for Money Salad i have. I LOVE money salad. looks basically the same, same kinda greens, and strawberries but no onions. money salad has sugar coated pecans in it tho. yummmmy but i'm sure not good at all.

You're right, that's alot of sugar and oil... actually it seems like a large quantity of dressing for the amount of salad. 

If that was me....hmmm...

I'd probably swap the sugar, oil, and vinegar for premade fat free balsamic dressing, add the paprika, onion and sesame/ poppy seeds (I'd probably 1/2 the seeds they recommend as seeds can have alot of fat in them).

Taste... then decide if it needed the Worchestershire sauce as balsamic is quite spicey anyway. Balsamic vinegar is often used with strawberries- so should work.

Tip- I know alot of cafe's soak the onion in water for while to soften the flavour.

I just 'googled' this low fat version too (which funnily enough uses balsamic!):
