                    A friend once made this for a party to celebrate the beginning of summer. It is cool, crisp and crunchy - just what a salad should be. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                3/4 cup vegetable oil  |  
                                                1/2 cup white sugar  |  
                                                1 tablespoon poppy seeds  |  
                                                1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder  |  
                                                1 teaspoon mustard powder  |  
                                                1/3 cup balsamic vinegar  |  
                                                1 1/2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms  |  
                                                8 cups mixed salad greens  |  
                                                1 1/2 cups chopped pecans  |  
                                                4 cups sliced fresh strawberries  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Whisk together the oil, sugar, poppy seeds, garlic powder, dry mustard and vinegar. Refrigerate until chilled. 2. In a salad bowl, combine the mushrooms and mixed greens; add dressing and toss. Sprinkle with strawberries and pecans.                              |
