This is a nice light salad for lunch! The strawberries give this salad a burst of sweetness and the nuts give this a nice crunch.
Do you ever get bored eating the same salads all the time? This salad tastes amazing and is very different then your usual salad. Great for a light lunch or a nice compliment to a meal. The sweetness of the strawberries makes this salad really tasty! My kids love this one because they love strawberries. The poppyseed dressing is amazing!
I usually serve this with feta cheese. It always compliments the salad extremely well.
This is great to make during strawberry season with fresh berries. If they aren’t in season you can use frozen berries that have been thawed out. Feel frrr to add other fruit as well.
