Strawberry Spinach Salad with Homemade Poppyseed Dressing

Janelle, from Comfy In the Kitchen, is back again with a great summer salad recipe!

 

This is one of  my all-time favorite salads! it tastes delicious, is absolutely beautiful, and can be doubled. I have actually quadrupled the recipe for church functions and have had many people ask to take "doggy bags" home because they enjoyed it so much :) 

 If you have been asked to "bring a side" to a picnic... this would be an amazing salad to bring because of the gorgeous coloring. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do...I make it often!  

Let me calm you..it is not scary to make your own dressing!!! I promise! Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, vinegar, sugar, onion, poppy seeds, sesame seeds (you may not have these- they are with the spices in the grocery store)

Whisk together- that is IT! Now you can breath..AHhhhhh... 

I use pre-packaged baby spinach and just toss it in a nice bowl (I do not remove my stems), then add sliced strawberries and slivered almonds.

Strawberry Spinach Salad


1 10oz bag of baby spinach (or appx 6 cups of leaves)
2 cups sliced strawberries (I use an entire plastic container)
1/2 cup slivered almonds

Dressing
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 tsp worcestershire
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 Tbsp poppy seeds
1/4 cup minced white onion


Whisk all the dressing ingredients together. Place clean spinach in a bowl and top with sliced strawberries and almonds. Toss with dressing.

Thank you Janelle!!!!

Walk with the King!
