Tips:

  • Use fresh, crisp greens for the best flavor and texture. A mix of lettuces, arugula, and spinach is a great option.

  • For a creamy dressing, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream. You can also add some crumbled blue cheese or feta cheese for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have poppy seeds on hand, you can use sesame seeds or sunflower seeds instead.
  • To make a vegan version of the dressing, use agave nectar or another plant-based sweetener instead of honey.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing it, so the greens don't get soggy.
