You may want to try mixing the poppyseed dressing with a little fat free balsamic to reduce the sugar. I tried another salad recipe that called for that and now I use the mix whenever I intend to use poppyseed dressing! Tastes great, love the salad recipe. Thanks so much!

I never liked fruit on salads either so I was surprised how much I liked this. And yes.. I have a few small tattoos. Considering another one for m y 35th birthday. :)

I’m not quite sure but in the last pic, is that a tattoo in your right… err.. lady part? Anyways, I’m not a fan of fruit on salads, or cheese on salads, but I dig fruits and cheese together as dessert. Does that make sense at all?

What a great idea! I’m going to fiddle with a poppyseed dressing more!

I make a salad very similar with spinach but I have been experimenting with pineapple yogurt instead of the dressing. I add poppyseeds to the yogurt if I have them, if not I just mix a little of the yogurt into the salad. I tweek it with different ingredients each time. It’s not as sweet as the poppyseed which suits my family just fine.

This is the perfect lunch on a day the temperatures are between, hot and gawd it is hot!

I found Newman’s Poppy Seed Dressing but the 13———13 grams of FAT for 2 Tbsp made me return it to the shelf.
Holey moley.

I did find a FF Poppy dressing that Maple Grove Farms of Vermont puts out.

Doh! I was so excited when the pic came into my email of your salad because I could see poppy seed dressing on it. I immediately clicked over to see how you made it and then saw the big bottle o’ Trader Joe. (We don’t have Trader Joe’s in Southern Illinois.) Phooey. I couldn’t wait to find out how to actually make the stuff from scratch. Guess I’ll have to figure it out on my own, but I’m glad for the reminder that I need to! Salad looks great!

Your salad looks so good! I love interesting-flavored dressings, but I keep ‘em to a minimum. In fact, it’s been several years since I’ve bought salad dressing…

You do not look like crap! Dare I say you look radiant?

The salad looks great, too. I think I’ll have to try it. I’m trying to get more produce in my life again.

This is SO funny because I’m making a spinach, strawberry, & feta salad to go with dinner tonight! I’m making an easy dressing with strawberry-balsamic vinegar, olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, salt, & pepper. I’m roasting lean pork chops and carrots to go with it. Too bad I already ate all our blueberries!
