Candied Pecan Berry Salad with Cream Cheese and Poppy Seed Dressing

This fresh, summery salad is always requested! Crunchy, sweet pecans, juicy berries, cream cheese, and homemade poppyseed dressing make this a showstopper!

 

 

 

 

Or, if Candied Pecan Berry Salad with Cream Cheese and Poppy Seed Dressing seems like a mouthful, you can just call it The Salad That's so Good You'll Save it for Dessert. There. That knocked off a whole word.

Seriously though, it has to be a pretty good salad for Yammie to post it. I mean, I am not a salad person. Mixed greens with assorted vegetables and Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing? Just looking at it would burn my eyeballs out and turn my tastebuds to ashes. 

 

But this salad, with it's beautiful rainbow of colors, it's homemade poppy seed dressing, it's crunchy candied nuts, and it's endless variations to imagine up, is a salad even the staunchest of carnivores will graze upon with pleasure. 

 

 

Other variations on this salad: 

 

You can use any combination of nuts, fruit, and cheese that you want. Here are some ideas!
