For the vinaigrette place the strawberries in the food processor with the knife attachment (they shrink after defrosting). Add lemon juice and sugar and process until smooth. Continue processing and gradually add the vinegar and oil; process until thickened about 2 minutes. Stir in poppy seeds at the end.
In a large bowl combine the lettuce chicken oranges celery and scallion. Stir together. Pour dressing over salad right before serving and toss to coat. Use as much dressing as desired.
Leftover dressing can be refrigerated for a few days. Top with salted peanuts or almonds. Serve immediately.
