  • Strawberries - Strawberries bring a natural sweetness and a hint of tartness, balancing the rich, creamy poppyseed dressing. Strawberries are also high in over, low calorie, a source of vitamin C and they contain contain antioxidants. 
  • Poppyseed dressing - Brianna's poppyseed dressing is ready to use, saving you time on preparation and ensuring a perfectly balanced flavor without the hassle of making homemade dressing. Briana’s has both organic and sugar free options that are gluten free and dairy free. 
  • Chicken - Adding chicken transforms the salad into a more balanced meal, offering a good mix of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, making it ideal for lunch or dinner.
  • Cashews - Cashews add a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the softness of the salad, enhancing the overall texture and enjoyment of each bite.
