This Strawberry Pecan Salad with Beets is fresh, delicious, and chock full of spring produce. I topped this salad with a tangy and sweet homemade poppy seed dressing.
Salad need not be boring. Banish that notion from your mind. This salad--along with this Mediterranean Chopped Salad, Greek Power Bowl, and Strawberry Balsamic Salad--is proof. #saddesklunch be gone!
For this little number, I loaded up some arugula and baby greens with lots of berries and roasted beets. Then I added some crunchy toasted pecans and some salty feta cheese. Top all of that with a tangy-sweet homemade poppy seed dressing, and you're in business.
