Notes
- Store undressed salad components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator to prevent the spinach from wilting.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but you can revive slightly wilted spinach by briefly soaking it in ice water.
- Serve this bright salad as a refreshing side dish with grilled chicken or fish for a complete and balanced meal.
- For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the poppy seeds in a dry pan for a minute or two before adding them to the dressing.
