• Step 1: In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced strawberries and drained mandarin oranges.
• Step 2: Add the creamy poppy seed or citrus-based dressing and toss to coat the fruit evenly. If desired, drizzle in the honey and sprinkle with ground cinnamon, then stir to incorporate.
• Step 3: If using, gently fold in the chopped pecans or toasted coconut flakes, taking care not to crush the fruit.
• Step 4: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
• Step 5: Serve chilled, garnished with additional strawberry slices or mandarin orange segments, if desired.
