Poppy Seed Dressing: This is my favorite dressing for this type of salad! Strawberries: Add a festive red element and a wonderful fruity flavor to this salad. Feta Cheese: The perfect white element that’s creamy and tangy to offset all that wonderful sweet fruit. Blueberries: These give us the blue element for this salad. Spring Mix Lettuce: I love a good mix of greens in my salads, but feel free to choose your favorite blend!

Pro Tip: Make sure the salad dressing goes on the bottom so your lettuce doesn’t get soggy!
