Strawberry Pistachio Vegan "Chicken" Salad with Maple Coconut PoppyseedDressing

Oh this is DEFINITELY a favorite...



And the dressing is to DIE for.





I looked at a few poppyseed dressings online and kinda made my own twist on it..



Maple-y Coconut Poppyseed Dressing:

1 cup Amande Coconut Almond Milk Yogurt (or use plain yogurt and add some shredded coconut)
1 tbsp poppy seeds
1/2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp of non-dairy milk (this can be omitted if you want a thicker dressing, but it's already pretty thick)
1 tsp orange juice
dash of sea salt

1. Mix all the ingredients together with a whisk and chill for about a half hour before serving!

Now I added this to my salad for the week which is simple but what I put in it was:

sliced strawberries
cubed yellow squash
Trader Joe's Chicken-less Chicken Strips
pistachios (without the shells of course and hazelnuts would be a delight in here as well)
micro greens
mushrooms
mixed greens

When this salad and that dressing combine...you get this tasty delight:
