Description
Strawberry Poppyseed Salad is a fresh, lightly sweet salad that is amazing as a side—or as the base of a main course.
Juicy red strawberries are tossed with crisp greens and a poppyseed-studded dressing with a light tang and a touch of honey.
Top with feta and candied walnuts for a crumble and crunch.
To make this salad the main course, dress it up with some grilled chicken and serve with a crusty baguette.
