Summer Salad Saturday Week 4


Welcome to the final Summer Salad Saturday. How quickly the month of June has flown by! I have truly enjoyed every ones wonderful recipes. Thanks to all of you who have shared them. This week I am sharing a recipe that is oh so good. A perfect salad to bring to your next party.


SPINACH, STRAWBERRY, PECAN SALAD

1 lb. fresh spinach, washed & dried


1 pt. strawberries, washed & halved


1/2 c. pecan halves, toasted (walnuts can be substituted for pecans)


Optional add ons:

grilled chicken breast sliced


blue cheese crumbles



DRESSING:
1/3 c. raspberry vinegar


1 tsp. dry mustard


1 tsp. salt


1/2 c. sugar


1 c. vegetable or olive oil


1 1/2 tbsp. poppy seeds



Combine dressing ingredients except the poppy seeds in a blender. Add the poppy seeds by hand. Toss dressing with spinach, strawberries and hot pecans. The hot nuts will slightly wilt the greens.
