"This is a great summer salad that utilizes fresh romaine, onions, strawberries, and a sweet poppy seed dressing." — Dort

1 head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
1 red onion, sliced
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1/8 teaspoon lemon juice
The only drawback is the dressing - instead of the mayo concoction - use Marzetti's white (not grey) Poppyseed dressing available at Farmer Jack's in the produce section. Mix in some of the mandarin orange juice to get it perfect. Also - you MUST add in sliced almonds and rice noodles. To make it a main dish - just add bowtie pasta and sliced breaded chicken breast.
I like the idea of adding strawberries to my salad, but the dressing was a little too tangy. Next time I will use honey mustard and I bet it will be delicious!

It was possibly one of the best salads, Ive ever eaten. The one thing that I did change was by using fresh orange chunks as opposed to mandarin from a can. This was excellent.
I have had this salad in the past and have been looking for this recipe for a couple years now. it is is wonderfully tasty and light salad.
Very tasty and very refreshing on a hot day! I did not have any madarin oranges so skipped those, but I did add some fresh pecan halves and they just shone in this salad! :) Thanks for the recipe!
We LOVE this! It is good in winter, also, as we enjoyed it for Christmas dinner.
A welcome alternative to Caesar salad. Everyone loves this one.
delicious! A hit with the kids as well.
