Instructions
- Salad:
- Chop the lettuce and romaine and layer it with the baby spinach and then sprinkle all the other ingredients on top.
- Raspberries, pomegranates and blueberries look pretty right on top. I like to make this salad on a large platter and peak it up as I add the ingredients.
- Dressing:
- Blend well and refrigerate after use. Shake well before each use as it will separate and settle.
Clare’s Poppy Seed Salad… this is a perfect salad any day of the year but especially fun to take along to a Holiday gathering! It’s a crowd pleaser for sure 🙂 If you’re not making it for a crowd, it can easily be cut down for a small group too.
Happy Wednesday and Happy Holidays too! I hope you’re having a wonderful Holiday Season and that life is Merry and Bright this time of year…
Love,
Ruthie
