For an extra layer of flavor, consider toasting the poppy seeds lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the dressing. If you prefer a tangier dressing, add a touch more lemon juice to taste. Garnish with a few extra strawberry slices and a sprinkle of poppy seeds for an elegant presentation. This salad is best enjoyed soon after dressing, as the romaine may wilt slightly over time. Feel free to add grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal.
