Strawberry Spinach Salad With Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing

Submitted by Jami Robin

"I got the base of this recipe from allrecipes.com and added a few things myself. The dressing makes this fantastic. This has disappeared quickly every time I serve it! You could also use toasted pecans, blue or gorgonzola cheese, and mandarin oranges instead of strawberries to change it up."

• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 236.59 ml candied pecans (I use Candied Pecans)

directions

1. In a large bowl, mix the spinach, onion, and sliced strawberries.
2. Place crumbled feta and candied pecans on top of the salad.
3. Place the sugar, salt, vinegar, oil, and 2 whole strawberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Stir in the poppy seeds.
4. Just before serving, pour desired amount of dressing over the salad, and toss to coat.
