Spinach Strawberry Salad With Poppy Seed Dressing

Here ya go, Cathy. :) I have made lots of different variations of spinach strawberry salads, but this one is my favorite and super easy to make.

Baby Spinach

Red onion, chopped (as much as you like)

Strawberries, sliced

Sugared Nuts (I use pecans or almonds) {Combine a 1/2 cup of nuts along with 1/4 cup of sugar in a small frying pan. Turn the heat onto medium and stir. It will take a few minutes for anything to happen. The sugar will begin to clump up around the nuts and then, before you know it, the sugar will have totally melted and the nuts will be coated and brown. Be careful because it can go from nothing to burned pretty fast. Be sure and stir continuously. I spread the nuts out onto a slightly greased plate for them to cool and dry. You will need to break them apart a bit before adding them to the salad}.

Poppy Seed Dressing

Combine spinach and dressing and top with strawberries, nuts and red onion.

Poppy Seed Dressing:
1/2 canola oil

1/4 C apple cider vinegar

1/3 C sugar

2 Tbsp sesame seeds

1 Tbsp poppy seeds

1 1/2 tsp dried minced onion

1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1/4 tsp paprika.

Mix together ingredients well and pour over spinach.
