Spinach and Strawberry Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

This is one of my no fail salads. It had been a hit at every BBQ or family gathering I've ever brought it to. I can't take credit for it though. My friend Lisa gave me this recipe a few years ago...thank you Lisa!

What You'll Need

Salad

3- 4 cups (approx) of baby spinach
2 cups sliced strawberries
1/2 - 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Dressing

1/4 cup of milk

1/4 cup of sugar

1/4 cup of mayo

2 Tbsp vinegar

2 Tbsp poppy seeds

Make It

Assemble the salad in a bowl and set aside. My measurements are really flexible for this part of the salad because it really all depends on your preference. I generally keep adding the fruit and nuts until I think it looks full enough.

Mix all the ingredients for the dressing and keep in a separate container until you are ready to eat the salad.

When it is time to eat, add the dressing to your salad, slightly toss it and serve.

* The best thing about this salad is how versatile it is. Depending on what's in the house, I switch up the fruits and nuts. Mandarin oranges, pomegranates and blueberries are all great substitutes for the strawberries. Mix it up and enjoy.
