Instructions
Make Poppyseed Dressing:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and onion. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the poppy seeds until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Gradually pour in the vegetable oil while continuously whisking. This will help emulsify the dressing, giving it a creamy and smooth consistency. Continue whisking until the dressing is fully blended.
Make Sugared Almonds:
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add almonds and sugar and stir to coat. Let the sugar melt and stir often. Watch carefully to ensure the almonds aren't becoming too brown. Once the sugar has melted and coated the almonds, remove from the heat and place on parchment paper to cool before adding to the salad.
- In a large salad bowl, add spring mix, sliced strawberries, feta cheese, and dried cranberries, if using. Add cooled sugared almonds. Toss with some of the poppyseed dressing when ready to serve. You may not need all of the dressing so you can put it on the side for your guests to add more dressing as needed.
Notes
- How to store Sweet Poppyseed Dressing:
- Transfer the poppyseed dressing to a jar or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake or stir well before each use as the ingredients may separate over time.
