If you're looking for a dish that takes hardly any time at all to prepare
but tastes like it did, this Strawberry Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed
Vinaigrette fits the bill. This tasty salad requires only a few ingredients, is
super easy to make, and is healthy to boot--spinach is packed with protein and
strawberries are high in Vitamin C. For a more decadent taste, try substituting
candied walnuts for the slivered almonds and crumbled blue cheese for the feta
cheese. Add some grilled chicken breasts to make this a light and breezy
summertime meal.
Ingredients:
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 pound bagged, prewashed baby spinach
3 tablespoons slivered almonds
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 batch poppy seed vinaigrette dressing

2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup canola oil
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Whisk the poppy seeds, salt, canola oil, honey, and red wine vinegar
together.
Place spinach in a separate bowl. Drizzle on the dressing and toss well. Top
with strawberries, slivered almonds, and feta cheese and serve.
