This has definitely got to be my new favorite summer salad! It is loaded with vibrant fresh flavors and I love the way all the red berries pair together. Why stop at just strawberries when you can add raspberries and cranberries too?

And I went all out berry flavor on this one by finishing it off with the most amazing Strawberry Poppy Seed Dressing.

I could eat this dressing by the spoonful it so good!

My kids kept asking when I was going to be done taking pictures so they could have a drink of my smoothie, which is a about right with this dressing :).

It has just the right amount of sweetness which perfectly enhances the strawberries, and it has that perfect little crunch from those tiny little poppy seeds, and of course it’s natural color is gorgeous. Then add avocados and spinach to the mix and you’ve got one dreamy salad!

Once you try this you’ll be making it all the time! I know it will be my go to summer salad dressing.
