Strawberry Spinach Salad With Sweet Mayo Dressing

Cookin-jo's Note:

The dressing for this salad is different than others in that it contains no oil, only mayo. Light mayo and Splenda may be substituted. From my local newspaper Recipe Swap column.

Delicious. I agree 3 T sugar is plenty. It's an excellent dressing that I expect to use frequently on greens and berries. Thanks for posting! Oh, and I broke up a few toasted walnuts that I had handy and added them. I like crunch :-)

This salad was divine! I had to change a couple of things because I didn't have them but nevertheless this is a super dressing. I used agave instead of sugar. I didn't have strawberries but I had little oranges and they tasted fabulous! I made it for a friend I had to dinner and she loved it!
