Strawberry Salad Poppyseed Dressing

My second favorite season of all time is Strawberry Season!  (Yes, I consider Strawberry Season an actual season.)  I absolutely love this time of year.  I have my berry buckets all cleaned and ready to be filled with these sweet little bursts of sunshine.

One of my favorite things to make with fresh-picked strawberries is this Strawberry Salad with Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing.

I love everything about this salad.  It’s crunchy and sweet with a little tang.  This salad is the first thing I make when I get home from strawberry picking.  I wash up a bunch of berries – they’re usually still warm from the vine — and slice ’em up.

Fresh Strawberry Salad

This Strawberry Salad is always a big hit.  It’s so pretty and colorful and a fun alternative to a traditional garden salad.  It’s so easy to make — I use my stawberry slicer (or you can use an egg slicer) to make quick work of slicing the berries and my mandoline slicer slices the onion into perfectly thin slices in a snap!

Recently, I had the opportunity to make this salad on WNEP’s (our local ABC affiliate) Home & Backyard program.  I had such a great time with Jackie and gang.  You can watch the segment here.

Celebrate those sweet red strawberries and make this salad! This salad is crazy good!  Oh, and in case you were wondering, my favorite season is Fall.
