Equipment
Ingredients
Poppyseed Dressing:
- 1 shallot minced
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice, or more apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Strawberry Salad
- 6 ounces fresh spinach leaves
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
Make the dressing
- Whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing: the shallot, mayo, mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, lemon juice, milk and poppyseeds. I usually start with 3 tablespoons of milk and add another if the dressing is too thick. Taste, adjusting seasoning as needed-- I find that the mayo is salty enough, but you can add a little salt as desired.
Make the Salad
- In a large bowl, toss together the spinach leaves, strawberries, blueberries, pecan and feta.
- Add the dressing and toss well, taste, adjust seasonings, and serve immedietly.
Notes
To make dairy-free, use vegan mayo of choice and unsweetened milk.
