  3. **Prep the Salad:** Wash and dry 5 oz baby greens. Thinly slice 1/2 cup cucumber, 1/2 cup celery, and 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes. Finely chop 2 scallions. Roughly chop 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans. Crumble 1/4 cup feta cheese (or your preferred cheese). Slice 1 cup strawberries.

  5. **Dress the Salad:** Drizzle 1/4 cup of the chilled poppy seed dressing over the salad. Serve immediately, passing the remaining dressing on the side.
