says:I just love this salad and have made it many times for potlucks. Everyone always loves it! Question though… does the dressing need to be refrigerated? I make it ahead of time so it’s ready to go when I put it all together but it’s super thick if I leave it in the fridge.
Thanks!!
Marina
says:I made this for our New Year party. A huge bowl of salad disappeared in a moment. The dressing is really “to die for”! I didn’t have poppy seeds, so I used black and white sesame seeds instead. I also added some feta cheese and thinly sliced red onions. But dressing is the king of this salad! Making it again today with pears instead of strawberries. Thank you!
Courtney
says:I make this for most special occasions and events. The only difference is that i use my favorite poppy seed dressing off the shelf at the store and a bit of feta cheese crumbles. Yummy!!!
