Amazing Summer Strawberry Salad
This salad is delicious! And perfect for summer.
The hand-written recipe fell out of my recipe book. I apologize that I don’t know who to thank for it. I certainly didn’t come up with it on my own. I vaguely remember a conversation with my mom over the phone about it. Maybe it belongs to a family member?
The salad is fresh spinach, strawberries and sliced almonds. (Technically it’s 9 cups of spinach, 1 pint strawberries, and 1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds. But I don’t measure things)
The dressing is:
1/4 cup veg oil, 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp cider vinegar, 2 tbsp minced green or red onion, 1/4 tsp paprika and 1/4 tsp worcest. sauce. I skipped the poppy seeds and sesame seeds, as you can see. Extra hassle and I don’t miss it.
So first I wash the spinach
I tear it up by hand. I love feeling my food before I eat it. It adds to the experience!
After I make the dressing, I soak the strawberries in it for a few minutes. That way they are nice and flavorful.
Sometimes I toast the almonds in butter on the stove top until crispy and golden. Other times I throw them in plain. This salad is simple, healthy and delicious. A winning combination.
