Spinach Salad W /Strawberries, Lemon Verbena and Candied Walnuts

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"I'm cooking with lemon verbena and berries as much as I can before the season is over. A simple, basic and light vinaigrette will work: oil (olive, grape seed, walnut, etc.), vinegar (white balsamic, champagne, fruit), salt and cracked black pepper. Use any easy candied nut recipe of your choice. CG Original."

I loved this spinach salad. The lemon verbena is a nice addition and since the stuff is taking over my garden I might as well be eating it, lol. I had to use regular scallions and I used Recipe #298160 for the candied walnuts. We added some homemade dressing to the salad. Made for ZWT8
