- 4 cups of greens (baby spinach, mixed salad greens, arugula, or kale)
- 1 cup of ripe strawberries
- 1/2 cup of yogurt
- 1/4 cup of honey
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds
- 1/2 cup of candied pecans or sunflower seeds
- Rinse your strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove the green leaves and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of yogurt, 1/4 cup of honey, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds. Adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your liking. If you’re using a dairy-free yogurt, ensure it’s unsweetened for the best flavor balance.
- In a large salad bowl, add about 4 cups of your chosen greens. If you’re using kale, massage it gently with a bit of olive oil to soften the leaves.
- Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the greens.
- Sprinkle in 1/2 cup of candied pecans or sunflower seeds, ensuring even distribution throughout the salad.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly. I like to save a bit of dressing on the side in case someone wants extra.

Keywords: Always use the freshest ingredients possible. Fresh strawberries and crisp greens make a world of difference in flavor. You can prepare the dressing a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. For a more filling salad, consider adding grilled chicken or tofu.
