Spinach and Strawberry Salad

























Another recipe from Cook's Country from my free trial. Easy to make, colorful and very good. Colorado does not get the best fruit in the world and local fruit does not happern till much later. I took this to a patio pop-up with 5 girlfriends. First get together outside family. We had so much fun! I had leftover cut-up strawberries and the next day just drizzled a little of the dressing over them. Just the ticket to turn so so strawberries into delicious! Serves 4-6.

Ingredients for Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
Directions for Dressing:
I combine the sugar and dry mustard and mix with a fork.

In a salad dressing bottle; combine red wine vinegar, vegetable oil and funnel in the sugar mixture. Shake, shake, shake.

Ingredients for Salad:
  • 1/2 cup red onion, sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1 pound strawberries, sliced
  • 1 small romaine heart
  • 5 cups baby spinach
Directions for Salad:
 
Microwave 1/4 cup of the salad dressing in a bowl for 1 minute. Add onion, stir to combine and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

Combine romaine, spinach, strawberries, 1/4 cup almonds and marinated onions. Toss to combine. Toss with additional dressing. Place remaining 1/4 cup almonds on the top and serve.
