My favorite salad in this entire world.... I tried this at my friend Mandi's house last year, and I slightly changed it a bit, but it's become my favorite salad hands down. I made this for our church's Christmas party, and it's been a hit since. I know the recipe has been passed too & from all parts of the US!
Add lettuce (the above was butter lettuce, which I'm not sure what that is, but I guess any kind of nice green lettuce will work), slice up some strawberries.
We had bought the small mozzarella balls and sliced those up, but I think those mozzarella sticks will work good too.
Then, crush up some candied pecans (we loved the glazed Pecan Pie flavored Pecans). Add those three ingredients to the lettuce.
Then, mix up these ingredients for the poppy seed dressing:
1/3 c red wine vinegar
1 tsp yellow mustard
3/4 c oil
1/3 c sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp poppy seeds
Normally, one could add 1 tsp finely chopped red onion, but I had forgotten it, and it was still delicious! I did not pour all of the dressing over it, maybe about 1/4 cup. I saved the rest in one of my new "oh so cute" mason jars. I have managed to make this salad a few more times, and every time I eat it, I just am "mmmmm-ing" all over again!
