strong to the finich

cause we eats our spinach!
As promised, the delicious summer Strawberry Spinach Salad recipe:

Salad:

  • fresh spinach
  • sliced strawberries
  • slivered almonds
  • crumbled feta cheese
throw into a big bowl or onto plates at will

Dressing:

  • 2 Tbs. sesame seeds
  • 1 Tb. poppy seeds
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup evoo
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tb. minced onion (plus more for salad if you so desire)
whisk together and apply to salad at time of serving


Bryan and I enjoyed this summer treat as a delicious full plate dinner with some of our fresh-picked berries. The base recipe was discovered on allrecipes.com, but we made "a few slight modifications," as my brother would say. It seemed to us that no salad could really be enjoyed for its fresh goodness if the dressing called for nearly a cup of sugar (among other things)!

Bon Appetit!

thanks for the recipe and for the slight modifications, 1 cup of sugar, I'd rather have that in my ice cream I eat after the salad :) can't wait to try!
