Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad
Prep Time: 10
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients:
For the dressing:
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 small shallot, finely chopped or grated
1-1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
1/4 cup olive oil
For the salad:
1 head Romaine or two small heads of butter lettuce, chopped or torn
About 6-8 strawberries, chopped
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup crumbled Feta cheese, optional
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
For the dressing:
If you’re making this in a bowl, add the vinegar and sugar and whisk to dissolve the sugar. Then add the shallot, poppy seeds, salt, and ground mustard and whisk to combine.
Add the mayonnaise and slowly drizzle in the olive oil while you’re whisking. Keep whisking until the oil is fully incorporated.
If you’re making this in a jar, just add everything in, clamp the lid on tightly, then shake vigorously until your dressing is fully combined.
For the salad:
Arrange your chopped lettuce onto two plates, then top with strawberries and chopped pecans. Add your Feta cheese if using it, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with poppy seed dressing. Dig in.
