Very tasty! I reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup and blended some strawberries in to make up sweetness.

I loved this!The dressing is best when you use it immediately, as it will seperate.Because the dressing is so oily, I didn't use that much at all and saved the rest in a jar.

Fabulous summer salad! I exchange the poppy seeds for sliced almonds though.

This is such a refreshing, delicious and simple salad. I leave out the poppy seeds (just because I don't like them), and I'm always asked for the recipe.

Great simple elegant recipe. Used ideas from below - and had a perfect salad to serve for New Years Day brunch. Used: 1 bag baby spinach, 12 large strawberries, slice, 1/8 cup white sugar, 1 pinch salt 1/3 cup white wine vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil - also added 1 strawberries to dressing - helped sweeten it (with only using 1/8 a cup of sugar) and made very elegant, and 1 tablespoon poppy seeds. Will make again and again. Thanks!

This salad is one of those that you never get tired of. The dressing is the key. I added blue cheese and avocado and skipped on the strawberrys. It was fantastic.

I followed the recipe exactly, the only thing I added was 3 or 4 strawberries into the blender to make the dressing a lovely pink colour. It needed a few drops extra of white wine vinegar, and probably less poppy seeds. And I also added lots of crumbled feta cheese, which really completed it. It was a hit! To make for 15 people, use the measurements for 5 servings, and you'll have leftovers.

Oh my goodness - delicious! I halved the sugar and the oil (olive) and it was delicious. I also threw in a few extra strawberries. What a treat!

I made this last night as one of two salads for a pool party BBQ. It was a HUGE hit. One mistake I made - I took some of the spinach out of the bowl as it looked too full. Once dressed the spinach wilts. Wish I'd brought the spinach bag with me! Later, after we'd finished eating, I caught the people cleaning up picking the last bits of the salad out of the bowl! In terms of the dressing, I added more vinegar - I would recommend following the recipe then taste it and adjust according to your preference.

This was a huge hit with my family I add 2 strawberries to the dressing and I only used half the sugar and oil. The strawberries in the dressing really make it look elegant.

This is just like the salads you buy in restaurants! Very yummy! I left out poppy seeds as I did not have them, and added a little onion powder to the dressing--I noticed other recipes had onion and so I threw it in--turned out great. We will definitely have this again and again!

This is a great recipe! Very easy and tasty. As other raters have said it does turn out very sweet when you use the full amount of sugar...I happen to like it that way, but others might want to reduce. I added crumbled feta and slivered almonds for a delicious summer salad.

Absolutely AMAZING!! I used Olive Oil instead of Vegetable Oil and it was still a great dressing! And I added feta cheese and slivered almonds to mine as well and that was a wonderful touch!
