• 1 cup Strawberries sliced
• 6 ounces Blueberries
• 6 ounces Raspberries

Sweet Poppyseed Dressing:

• 1 cup Oil
• ⅓ cup Vinegar white, apple cider, or raspberry
• ½ cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Poppy Seeds
• 1 teaspoon Dried Mustard

To make the dressing: in a bowl or jar, add oil, vinegar, sugar, poppy seeds, dried mustard, and salt. Shake well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
