This simple salad is delicious and pretty, topped with sweet strawberries and candied nuts, spicy red onion and salty feta cheese. Toss in our easy homemade poppyseed dressing for a delectable salad you are sure to love.

I've been trying to incorporate more salads into our meals lately. It's such an easy side to your main dish and a great way to get in some healthy leafy greens and extra veggies. While this side salad may not be the healthiest of them all oh my is it delicious. You could easily make this salad a main dish by adding some grilled chicken, salmon or tossing with quinoa.

Making your own dressing is as simple as adding everything to a jar and giving it a good shake. This poppyseed dressing is one of my favorites but this salad would also be great with a balsamic vinaigrette.
