This Strawberry Poppyseed Salad was inspired by Panera’s Strawberry Poppyseed Salad! It’s packed with so much goodness- romaine lettuce, fresh fruit, boneless skinless chicken strips, toasted pecans, and then drizzled with a mouth watering homemade poppyseed dressing!

- 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup canned pineapple chunks, juice drained
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries, washed and patted dry
- 2 Tbsp or 15 grams toasted pecans, chopped (Optional)
Homemade Creamy Poppyseed Dressing:
- 2 Tbsp light Kraft mayo
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened almond or skim milk
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar or white granulated sugar sweetener such as Lakanto Classic monk fruit sweetener
- 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- In a bowl, arrange, chopped romaine lettuce, strawberries, oranges, pineapple, blueberries chicken, and toasted pecans.
- To make the dressing, add all the ingredients into a salad dressing container or a mason jar. Shake all the ingredients together. Chill in the fridge for about an hour before using.
