Ingredients

  • 3 cups Mixed Greens
  • 1 cup baby Spinach
  • 1/2 lbs Strawberries about 1/2 of the pack
  • 3 Kiwifruit peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup Toasted sliced Almonds
  • Shaved Parmesan Cheese *optional

Garnish

  • Za'atar optional

Poppy Seeds Vinaigrette

  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice freshly squeezed (add more if you wish)
  • 4 tablespoons Orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Mayonnaise I used Olive Oil Mayo
  • 1/3 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Poppy Seeds
  • Salt and Ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Mix together mixed greens and spinach in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing (vinaigrette) over it and toss it gently together, about 2 to 3 tablespoons or as you desire. You can use my simple dressing in the notes or Poppy Seeds Vinaigrette, which goes very well with this salad.
  2. Wash and slice fruit and again very gently toss it with greens. Add a handful of toasted sliced almonds and serve cheese on the side.
  3. Garnish it with Za'atar, not necessary but it gives you a wonderful taste and compliment to the salad.

Vinaigrette

  1. Whisk the lemon, and orange juice with the mustard, and mayonnaise.
  2. Add in olive oil and continue whisking until the dressing is creamy.
  3. Stir in the poppy seeds, and season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Recipe Notes

My absolute favorite vinaigrette is simple. I just mix Lemon juice, Olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste. I used that on most of my salads, however, Poppy Seeds Vinaigrette works very well with these kinds of salads. I do not add any sweetener, but you can add about 1/2 teaspoon of honey if you like that better. If you have somebody who does not eat dairy my simple dressing is a pretty amazing option, also you can totally skip mayo in the poppy seeds vinaigrette and use 1/2 ripe avocado for the creaminess. If you do not have almonds, then use cashews instead.
