Spinach & Strawberries Salad

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 to 2 bags baby (or a big bunch of fresh CSA) spinach
  • 1 pint strawberries, sliced
  • 1 bag slivered almonds
  • shredded cheddar cheese, optional
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ cup cider vinegar
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced onion, optional

Get a bag or two depending on how many people you need to feed of baby spinach
1 pint of strawberrys ( slice them up)
Get a bag of slivered almonds
Some fancy shredded cheddar cheese ( you can skip the cheese, I am from the midwest, we thrive on cheese)


For dressing, mix together: 
Vinegar, olive oil, sugar, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika.

Right before you want to have the salad, toss the spinach in the dressing ( dress to taste) toss with cheese and almonds then top with strawberriies. Make sure you get some of the dressing on the strawberries.

OPTIONAL:  cheese. this salad is great and healthier without cheese, but this recipe often recommends it so...try shredded cheddar (midwesterners), a little crumbled blue, or my personal fave, some creamy goat cheese.  YUM!
