Ingredients

10 cups mixed greens lettuce (red lettuce, romaine, spinach, or whatever you like)
1/2 cup fresh strawberries sliced
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup red onion diced
1 sweet apple chopped
1 cup candied pecans
1/3 cup feta cheese crumbles
5.3 ounces strawberry yogurt container
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 small piece red onion
2 Tablespoons milk
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

Add all of the dressing ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Taste. Add additional vinegar if you want it tangier, more sugar if you like it sweeter, or a dab more mayo and splash of milk if you want it creamier.
Stir in poppy seeds. Store dressing in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Make candied pecans
Prepare, wash and dry berries, and chop the apple and onion. Add greens to a large mixing bowl. Add toppings (I like to set aside a spoonful of each topping to add at the end, for aesthetics.)
Toss the mixture in desired amount of dressing. Serve immediately.
