    How to Make Honeydew Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

    Honeydew Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing FAQs

    Can I use different fruits in this salad?

    Yes, you can easily swap out the fruits–and veggies, in the case of the cucumber—in this salad. The combination of honeydew, cucumber, and grapes is a classic, but feel free to get creative! You could try adding some pineapple, mango, strawberries, or even apple slices. The sky is the limit! Just make sure to cut whatever fruits you choose into bite-size pieces for easy eating.

    Do I have to use homemade dressing?

    You don't have to make and use the homemade dressing in this recipe if you don't want to. Just reach for your favorite store-bought poppy seed dressing instead! You could even use a completely different kind of salad dressing if you want to. I recomend using a sweeter option, but you can get creative.

    What are the health benefits of poppy seeds?

    Poppy seeds aren't necessarily considered a health food, but they do add a special something to whatever dressing or dish they are in. There may be some digestion benefits from eating poppy seeds as well as stronger hair, skin, and nails. But regardless of the benefits, poppy seeds taste delicious!
