Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cups sliced almonds
- 0.5 cups crumbled feta cheese
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and dry the mixed salad greens thoroughly. Place them in a large serving bowl.
Wash the strawberries, hull them, and slice them thinly. Add the sliced strawberries to the salad greens.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before adding them to the salad.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, poppy seeds, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well-combined and emulsified.
Drizzle the poppy seed dressing evenly over the salad or serve it on the side.
Toss the salad gently to combine if dressing is applied, and serve immediately.
