Thanks to all my blogger friends who stop by my space and leave your valuable comments, your few words are really encouraging and means a lot to me. At the same time I am sorry that I couldn't do a courtesy visit back to your space, hopefully by next week will do it. Thank you for your support. Today's recipe is a simple, colorful and refreshing salad with greens and a fruit combo. This is kinda summer salad with summer special fruit strawberries but here strawberries are available throughout the year so can enjoy this salad anytime.
Only thing the taste of berries may not that sweet now, so I added some brown sugar to the dressing and the best part of this salad is the dressing. Mild tangy, sweet dressing with poppy seeds
was awesome and refreshing with spinach and strawberries. First time i tried dressing with poppy seeds, instead of black one I used white poppy seeds and i loved it. Overall the salad was delicious and filling.
