Spring Greens with Poppy Seed Dressing

By far my favorite salad EVER....

Ingredients:

3 cups watercress leaves 

3 cups torn arugula leaves 

3 cups sliced strawberries 

1/4 cup orange juice 

2 teaspoons olive oil 

2 teaspoons poppy seeds 

1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind

 

Alternate

For a delicious twist on this salad, add 1 cup fiddlehead ferns. Fiddlehead ferns taste like a cross between green beans and asparagus. You can use blanched green beans or asparagus as a substitute for fiddlehead ferns. Spinach Salad with Strawberries: Replace the watercress and arugula with 6 cups torn tender spinach leaves. For a nutty crunch, add 1/3 cup sliced toasted almonds.

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the watercress, arugula and strawberries.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, oil, poppy seeds and orange rind. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
