If you’ve ever had Panera’s strawberry poppyseed salad, you’re going to love this fruity summer salad too!
It’s quite a bit different then Panera’s, but it’s still filled with good, healthy, fresh ingredients and a delicious poppyseed dressing.
Strawberry Poppyseed Salad Ingredients:
- Fresh Strawberries

- Sliced Almonds
- Homemade Poppy Seed Dressing
Most of these ingredients are either fresh produce or homemade products, so the whole salad is just fresh, fresh, fresh! Can’t get better than that for a simple summer recipe.
If you want to make this into a full meal, try adding some grilled chicken breast on top for a little more protein. And of course you can always get creative and add in more fruit.
Try throwing in some mandarin oranges, blueberries, or pineapple if you have some. Although I really love this recipe just the way it is! My perfect salad.
