Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad

Sometimes we need a recipe that is quick and easy.  This salad fits that description.  In addition, though, it is really flavorful and quickly became popular at our house.  I am sharing a recipe today that came from Penny's blog,  Lake Lure Cottage.  Penny's blog always has great recipes. After you visit her blog, you will become a regular!  I am sharing as part of the Saturday Blog Showcase. 


 The idea is to try a recipe posted by a fellow blogger and then post it on Saturday for all to see.   Today the Saturday Blog Showcase is being hosted by Lori at All That Splatters.  She and Ann at Thibeault's Table share the hostessing responsibility by alternating weeks.


Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad is a layered salad.  The ingredients are simple and are layered starting with the spinach.


Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad

Baby spinach
Fresh strawberries, quartered
avocado, large chop
green onion, chopped
cashews
Poppy Seed Dressing
(Penny recommends Old Cape Cod Poppy Seed Dressing.  I could not find it so I bought another brand.)

Layer the ingredients from the bottom to the top in a shallow bowl.  toss with the poppy seed dressing and serve!


What an easy, flavorful salad!

  3. Beautiful! So fresh looking. If you don't mind my mentioning-- I have a poppyseed dressing you can make yourself (on my blog). Super easy and addicting. I could drink it! Makes me want to make this again.

  7. The salad is so seasonal and delicious. Too bad I used all the strawberries I had in dessert (for the moment:D)

  8. Yummo...does this ever look good!! I've had the Old Cape Cod poppyseed dressing & it IS delicious. We also like Marzetti's version. With strawberries in season right now from FL, I'm going to stock up & probably make this sometime very soon.
