Another great use for fresh strawberries – organic if you can get them! This refreshing salad is a great source of fibre, iron, and vitamins A and C. The sturdy spinach greens keep well if you have to prepare and dress in advance. However, it is preferred to dress just before serving.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh spinach
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 1tbsp sesame seeds
- ¼ cup cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp walnut oil
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp poppy seeds
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ¼ cup chopped chives
Preparations:
Wash, dry and tear spinach, place in salad bowl and set aside. Spread almonds on a baking sheet and cook at 350 degrees for 5 minutes, set aside. Next, spread sesame seeds in a non-stick skillet and stir over medium-high until browned. In a medium mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients with sesame seeds and mix well. Before serving, pour dressing over spinach, toss well, then add strawberries and almonds, toss lightly and serve
