Strawberry Orange Salad with Strawberry Balsamic Poppy Seed Dressing – A light, sweet salad with tangy fresh strawberry dressing.

Strawberry Orange Salad with Strawberry Poppy Seed Dressing I One Lovely Life  This is the last salad I’ll post for a few weeks at least. I promise. I don’t mean to go salad crazy (i.e. roasted asparagus salad, powerhouse quinoa salad), but seriously friends, when it’s in the triple digits (and we’re talking up to 112 degrees here), I need something cool and light.

Strawberries seem to be really hitting their stride about now, so this is a great salad to take advantage of what’s in season!

First off, you’re probably no stranger to poppy seed dressing, but have you ever tried strawberry and balsamic poppy seed dressing? I sure hadn’t. I adapted the recipe from Our Best Bites, subbing in some balsamic and playing with some of the other amounts of things. It was delicious! I purposely over-dressed my salad every day until it was gone. It was that good! (side note: even Sophie liked it! We gave her some strawberries and oranges with the dressing drizzled on them and she was in heaven.)

Salads like this are easy to play around with. Want to add some crumbled bacon? Go for it! Want to use pecans instead? Sure! Don’t feel this is substantial enough for a meal? Throw in some grilled chicken!

The dressing is best used within around 3 days, since the strawberries sort of deteriorate after that. It makes quite a bit, but like I said, you’ll want it!

    I am all about fun summer salads these days. This reminds me of the strawberry poppyseed chicken salad at Panera, with which I am obsessed. Love this!
