Strawberry Orange Salad

I love sweet salads especially when served with this poppy seed salad dressing!  This is one salad variation I've created to top with my homemade Poppy Seed Dressing.  It is a light refreshing salad that is great served as an appetizer or side.  It's more of a summer salad but I got strawberries on sale the other week. :)

INGREDIENTS
1 head red leaf lettuce
1 c sliced strawberries
1 c clemtine/tangerine wedges or oranges, cut in 1/2 inch pieces
1/4 c thinly sliced red onions
1 c mozzarella cheese
1/3 c sliced roasted almonds
poppy seed dressing

DIRECTIONS
Wash lettuce and dry in salad spinner.  Tear lettuce into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl.  Top with onion slices, strawberries, oranges, cheese, and almonds.  Top with desired amount of dressing just before serving or allow guests to dish up their own salad and dressing.*

*If you don't think you'll eat all of the salad don't toss with dressing.  The dressing makes the lettuce wilt and therefore the salad doesn't keep.
