Recipe – Spring Berry Poppy Seed Salad
By Callie | May 16, 2019
May is a crazy month for almost everyone I talk to, myself included! I find myself eating out more out of convenience, which in turn starts to wreak havoc on my waistline! My aunt originally introduced us to this salad and after tweaking a few things, I love the result. This salad is perfect for mid-day cravings as well as an agreeable side item to multiple dinner options. Blue Bird Poppy Seeds™ adds the perfect amount of nutty flavor, perfectly complimenting the pecans and blueberries! I hope you all enjoy this fresh and enticing salad as much as I did!
