I took this salad to work for one of our birthday carry-ins. It was gone within the hour and everyone loved it. I made it exactly as the recipe called except for the poppy seeds - I didn't have any. It was just wonderful. I made a smaller one for at home and it disappeared just as quickly. Easy and quick. Wonderful.

Made this salad for a potluck fishing derby in Canada and it was the first bowl that was empty. I did leave out the onion and spinach and used a large bag of iceberg lettuce instead as there were many children there. Threw in a cup of fresh picked blueberries along with the strawberries and added 1/2 cup of cashews for crunch. Got lots of compliments. Would definately make it again. Thanks for sharing thing wonderful recipe.

I've served this salad twice in the past 3 weeks and both times the recipe was requested by more than one person. It is perfect for summer. I took some others' advice and used a little less milk, chopped the onion (no Bermuda so I used Vidalia) very fine and added it to the dressing mix, and I offered Almond Accents as a sweet, crunchy topper.

Made this salad for 4th July get together and it got rave reviews. I added blueberries and crumbled feta as suggested by another reviewer. The dressing was a little too sweet for me personally but judging by the empty plates, I was in the minority. Definitely one to keep and make again in the future.

I used all Romaine (knowing that some of the people I'd be serving it to would automatically pass if it contained spinach) and left out the onion for the same reason. Also, I threw in a small handful of crumbled feta to dress it up a bit. I went home with an empty bowl and several requests that I email the recipe. The dressing is perfect with this combination.

I enjoyed this very much. I've made it with craisins when strawberries are out of season. Almonds or pecans are good too. The dressing is great on other salads too.

Loved the salad, even my husband who supposedly HATES all salads loved it. Used light mayo along with spenda to keep it lighter in calories. It is now one of my top favourite salads. I even threw some prawns in one night. Thanks for submitting

Wonderful salad! We make it for 4th of July and add blueberries, sliced almonds and some feta cheese crumbles along with the strawberries. It makes a red, white and blue salad!

I made this to accompany a cook out meal I prepared for guests (kind of something else to just add to the table) but everyone loved it more than the meal and they wanted more and more! Even the kids liked it. Perfect for those summer nights when you don't want to heat up the kitchen! Can't wait to make more.

Absolutely wonderful!!!! I did as other reviewers suggested and cut the amount of poppy seeds in half and I added some sliced almonds. I made it on Thursday night for a dinner party I was attending and it got rave reviews. The following night I was hosting a dinner party and made it again (because I was craving it!). Once again, everyone couldn't stop talking about how good it was and all wanted the recipe. Thank you so much for this recipe!!!

The salad was a very elegant and refreshing summer salad. I omitted the spinach and poppy seeds, added toasted sesame seeds, and less milk to make it creamier. The flavor is a bit sweet, so I balanced it out with a little more white wine vinegar and some dry mustard. I minced finely 2 T of red onions and let in soak in the dressing for an hour or two and the dressing was awesome! Yummy!

Amazing salad! I used one 9 oz. bag of spinach a head of romaine, 1 red onion and 2 lbs. of strawberries. No adjustments at all to the dressing! It was very delicious, not overly sweet and just the right amount of tang to compliment all the flavors! Even the picky eaters at my party loved this! I will certainly be making it again!

HELPFUL HINTS NOT MENTIONED: I'm really giving this 5*'s because of the dressing. It's been something I've made for almost a year now & I always have a batch ready to use. I use soy milk or lactaid because the expiration date for the milk tend to be a month away from the day I bought it which means the dressing lasts longer! I take a lock-n-lock & double the ingredients for the dressing. Mix everything but the poppy seeds (or sesame seeds) b/c they tend to just stick to the lid or bottom, so you never get the portion you want. Instead I just sprinkle it over the actual salad (any works) when I'm ready to serve, and give my lock n lock a shake before pouring over the salad! I prefer using Almond Accents found in salad section because they're already toasted, sliced, and have different flavors. Also sprinkle cranraisins or dried blueberries along with fresh strawberries. Delish!
