Strawberry Spinach Salad with Variations
A delicious, sweet and sour salad dressing that is much better than bottled dressing! Use it over any greens, add your choice of fruit, cheese, and maybe meats. It can be a side dish or a light meal! It is delicious!
Servings:
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup oil your favorite
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon onion minced
- 10 ounces spinach fresh, teared in half
- 4 cups mixed fruit any you wish
- 1 cup feta cheese or any cheese
- 1 cup raisins or any dried fruit
- ¼ cup slivered almonds pistachios, walnuts, pecans, any nuts, optional
- ¼ cup bacon bits optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sugar, oil, white vinegar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and onion together. Chill the dressing in the refrigerator for 1 hour if you can, but it is not necessary. It is still delicious if you use it right away.
- In a large bowl, combine the spinach, fruit, and whatever else you have put in the salad.
- Lightly pour some of the dressing into your salad and wait a few minutes to let it set before serving. Do not use a lot of dressing! You don’t want it to pool in the bottom of the bowl.
- Save the remaining dressing in the refrigerator for another time!
EXTRA TIP:
VARY the fruit, cheese, nuts, and meats to what you like or have on hand!
