Grape and Avocado Salad with Poppyseed Dressing
This grape and avocado salad is tossed with a homemade poppy seed dressing that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
If you love green salads with fruit, this is a must-try! While we call it a grape and avocado salad, but it’s really just a green salad with fruit.
This salad is perfect for parties, summer gatherings, holidays, or you can use it as a side dish. It’s a versatile salad that can be served any time!
What fruit do you use for this salad recipe?
Grapes. I use dark purple grapes for salads because they are sweeter than green grapes. You can also use black grapes.
Oranges. For the oranges, we only buy the mandarin oranges because they are a bit sweeter. You can either use mandarin oranges or you can use regular oranges.
What kind of dressing is used?
Our homemade poppy seed dressing is used. It is an easy recipe that you can put together in just a few minutes.
If you have a favorite brand, you can use that instead. This salad goes best with a vinegar-based dressing though, not a creamy salad dressing.

Sometimes I put the bean sprouts in the salad and sometimes I don’t. They are optional.
If you want to leave them out you can since they are only really included in the salad to give it an extra crunch.
