I’ve been eating this salad all summer. It’s pretty, refreshing and really, really tasty! Especially nice for large groups and potlucks, this recipe is easy to double, triple or more. Everything can be made ahead; simply wait until serving time to toss with the dressing for an easy, crowd-pleasing dish. And if you don’t have a crowd, no problem! More for you.
Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad
1 head romaine lettuce
1 head red leaf lettuce (or baby spinach)
1 pint strawberries, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
2 tbsp. raw sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp. poppy seeds
In a small bowl mix onion, mayo, vinegar, sugar and milk. Mix well and set aside. You can do this ahead of time and refrigerate if you’d like. In a large bowl toss together lettuces and strawberries. Toss with dressing right before serving.
what would you leave out if you used poppyseed drsg.. thanks!
The mayo, milk, sugar, vinegar and poppy seeds make up the dressing, so if you are using a bottled dressing instead, I would just leave those out. If the dressing you have is super sweet, you can still add a little vinegar for balance.
