Strawberry Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

Yield 6 1 1/2 cup size servings

3 Tbs Sugar
3 Tlbs light Mayonnaise
2 Tbs fat-free milk
1 Tbs poppy seeds
1 Tbs white wine vinegar
1 (10 oz) bag romaine lettuce
1 cup sliced strawberries
2 Tbs slivered almonds, toasted

Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a wisk.

Place lettuce in a large bowl; add strawberries and almonds, tossing to combine. Divide salad evenly among 6 plates. Drizzle 1 Tbs dressing over each serving.

***This recipe came from Cooking Light Magazine. I used regular vinegar and 1% milk and decreased the amount of poppy seeds. I also tossed the salad with the dressing before serving. Oh and fresh lettuce (I don't like bagged lettuce!) Very refreshing summer salad
