Notes
- You can substitute 1 cup mayonnaise for the Greek yogurt. Reduce the honey to 3 tablespoons.
- You can substitute apple cider vinegar for the lemon juice in the dressing.
- You can leave the poppy seeds out of the dressing and no substitutions are needed.
- If you wish to make the salad ahead, I recommend storing the dressing and salad in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. Toss the dressing with the salad right before serving.
