Baby Greens With Strawberries With A Poppy Seed Dressing Recipes

SPINACH SALAD WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING

Steps:

• Make the poppy seed dressing by whisking together the creamy salad dressing, vinegar, sugar, and poppy seeds; set aside. Arrange the spinach leaves, mixed salad greens, oranges, onion, and almonds onto individual salad plates. Drizzle with poppy seed dressing to serve.

STRAWBERRY SPINACH SALAD WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING

Steps:

• To make the Poppy Seed Dressing: In a food processor or blender, add the white and cider vinegars, sugar, salt, mustard powder and onion. Process or blend for 30-45 seconds, or until pureed. With the food processor or blender running on high speed, very slowly start adding the oil, in a very slow, steady stream, until all the oil is added. Add the poppy seeds and blend briefly to combine. Use dressing immediately or put in a jar with a lid and refrigerate until needed. *Note: Dressing will separate as it sits in the fridge. Just shake it in the jar to mix it back up again before using.
• For the salad: Add the baby spinach to a bowl. Add the strawberries, mandarin oranges, sliced almonds and red onion, if using. Toss to combine. Top with crumbled goat cheese, then drizzle with poppy seed dressing, to taste.
