Strawberry Spinach Salad I
My new favorite salad - and the dressing is wonderful for other salads too!
I followed the ingredient list and amounts as written but put it together a bit differently. I used my vita-mix (blender) and put the sugar, worchestershire (sp???), paprika, onion, and vinegar in the container - then slowly streamed in the oil (I used a canola blend cause it's all I had) with the blender on medium. Then I transfered it to a small container and stirred in the poppy and sesame seeds. This really incorporated the ingredients and the dressing takes days to separate (and even then it's only a little bit).
I also used a head of leaf (Romaine the second time I made it) lettuce with the spinach and used a whole container of strawberries and eyeballed the almonds (probably used way more than called for - but was yummy). I did not tear/cut the spinach but left "as is" from the bag.
It was a hit at the picnic I took it to. We had to travel several hours to get there so I kept the cleaned, dried, and torn lettuce in a zip top bag. I cleaned and cut the strawberries and kept separate. Then I was able to put everything in the cooler and assemble the salad just before serving.
The leftovers did not keep - got very wilty very fast!
