Strawberry Spinach Salad

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude."
WILLIAM JAMES


There are many wonderful recipes for a Spinach and Strawberry Salad, some with a Creamy Poppyseed Dressing and Oil and Vinegar Dressing. This recipe has a refreshing oil and vinegar dressing that our family loves. I got the recipe from a school fundraiser book, submitted by Cheryl M. This makes lots of dressing for more than one salad and will keep for a couple of weeks in the fridge.

Oh yes very important. If you are buying Strawberries with a recipe in mind, mark DO NOT EAT on it.......if your family eats some, a can of mandarine oranges work really well too.


SALAD:
Use as much prewashed spinach that is needed.
Strawberries, sliced. The more the better.
Green Onions or slivered Red Onion
Toasted nuts, we like almond or Pine nuts (optional, this time due to allergies, we omitted)

DRESSING:
Combine ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid
1/2 cup oil (may use olive)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. sesame seed
1 tsp. poppy seed
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. Paprika

Shake very well, until sugar dissolves and is well combined.
Dress immediatly before serving or the salad will get soggy.
