Strawberry Almond Salad with Poppyseed Dressing
This is such a pretty and delicious salad!
Ingredients
POPPYSEED DRESSING:
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 6 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
CANDIED ALMONDS:
- ½ cup slivered almonds
- 3 tablespoons granulated white sugar
SALAD:
- 8 cups (packed) chopped romaine or red leaf lettuce
- 2 cups halved or chopped strawberries
- 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
PREPARE THE DRESSING:
- In a medium bowl or shaker jar, combine all ingredients for the dressing except poppy seeds. Whisk (or shake) well. When it is nicely combined, stir in the poppy seeds. The dressing may be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
PREPARE THE ALMONDS:
- In a small skillet, heat the sugar over medium heat until it begins to melt. Add the almonds to the pan and toss rapidly until the sugar coats all of the almonds and the almonds are lightly browned. Pour them out onto a glass dish and separate almonds with a fork. Cool until hardened and break into pieces.
ASSEMBLE THE SALAD:
- To a salad bowl, add the lettuce and strawberries. Then toss with desired amount of poppyseed dressing. After it has been tossed, then gently toss in the almonds and feta cheese. Serve immediately.
