Tips:

- Feel free to adjust the amount of dressing used to your liking. The recipe makes about 1/2 cup of dressing, but you may not need all of it.
- This salad is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

This raspberry pecan salad is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy fresh raspberries. The sweet and tart berries are complemented perfectly by the crunchy pecans and creamy poppy seed dressing. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, or as a side dish at your next potluck.
