Strawberry Salad with Honey Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

Popular

Native Americans named June’s full moon Strawberry Moon after the blink of time it takes for the tiny white flowers in the berry patch to come to fruition, and then leave us again. A little peppery, a little sweet, a little creamy, this salad is a wonderful, savory way to eat berries, so you can still have strawberry shortcake with crunchy, buttery drop biscuits for dessert.
