JEAN'S STRAWBERRY SPINACH SALAD WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING

JEAN'S STRAWBERRY SPINACH SALAD WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING

1 lb. fresh spinach
1 quart fresh strawberries halved
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1 Tbsp sugar
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp minced onion
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp poppy seed

In a small skillet put 1 Tbsp sugar and 1/4 cup sliced almonds.  Stir over medium heat until sugar is melted and almonds are coated.  Place almonds on wax paper.  When cool, break almonds apart. Rinse and drain spinach.  Tear into pieces.  Lightly toss in strawberries.  To make dressing, mix vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, minced onion, dry mustard, and poppy seed.  Set aside.  Pour over salad just before serving.  Top with almonds.

Grandmother Olive will have a post tomorrow.


Things are going to be in different order this week, as you can see.  Also, I will have something everyday through and including Saturday and Sunday this week.  The Haiti Auction is in Penn Yann this coming weekend, but I don't think I will be able to attend.  Don't forget Father's Day.

Hi Marilyn,
Is everything OK with Jean? It seems she has not posted in a while; just worried about her. I am sure she is busy with the garden now, and such. I hope that's all that it is.

Good Morning Diann,

Jean and her family are fine - just busy with planting and all. She was going to put the post on for tomorrow, but felt Grandmother knew more than she did. I'll get after her and see if she will do a post next week. Also, will see she gets your message.

Hi Marilyn, you couldn't go to the auction last year either, right?
Salad sounds real good, but Inthink I'd substitute honey for the sugar.
BTW, are Jean's Grandparents still in Fl or here? Just wondering.
Blessings to all, Carol

Good Morning Carol,

No, I didn't go to the auction last year. It's been a couple years since I've been there. Honey, might be better than sugar. Jean's Grandparents are still in Florida. They declared as residence of Florida.

Blessings to you and yours,
Marilyn

This sounds wonderful to make for my girls birthday, both Vegan. Sounds like a winning combination.
