For an extra layer of flavor, consider toasting the poppy seeds lightly before adding them to the dressing. If you prefer a less sweet dressing, reduce the amount of sugar to your liking. Feel free to add other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a mixed berry salad. For a tangier dressing, substitute a portion of the milk with lemon juice. To prevent the salad from becoming soggy, dress it just before serving. Add grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a complete meal. Try using different types of lettuce, such as butter lettuce or romaine, for a varied texture.
