Salad and Poppy Seed Vinagrette
Every one in my house likes this salad which is a surprise when most of us only like rich creamy ranch like dressings. Once I can get the white sugar cut out with a more healthful sweeter (without changing the taste) I will really love the idea of this salad so many really GOOD for you foods in this dish.
