Strawberry Summer Salad With Poppy Seed Dressing

strawberry summer salad with balsamic poppy seed dressing

Delicious strawberry summer salad with poppy seed dressing. Incredibly easy to make, and refreshingly sweet and savory with an added crunch. All while remaining healthy.

I was inspired to make this strawberry salad recipe after coming across some vegan feta cheese during my last grocery store run. I was curious to give it a try, so I came up with this simple salad for a reason to include it. Now I want to make everything with feta! I was pleasantly surprised with just how much it tasted like the real thing.

The brand I use is Violife.

The balsamic poppy seed dressing only requires a few ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. Except the poppy seeds, not sure if that’s a common thing to have lying around. It wasn’t for me.

You could even make this dressing without the poppy seeds, which would just be a balsamic salad dressing at that point. Still delicious!
