Strawberry Spinach Salad


I love this salad!  I have been trying to serve more leafy greens at dinner time, and this is a salad that most of my family loved. My picky 5 year old didn't like it - but he pretty much lives on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  Yep he's picky.  But my 7 year old, 2 year old, and 33 year old (ha ha) loved it.   I like the sesame seeds - my husband thought they took away from the bitterness of the spinach.  And do you want to know something cool?  Vinegar has an indefinite shelf life!!!  I am sure all you smarties all ready knew that.  After dusting off my red wine vinegar, I googled it.  No worries.  The stuff lasts forever.  Enjoy your super duper healthy greens! :)



Strawberry Spinach Salad
  • 2 bunches spinach, rinsed and torn into bite-size pieces
  • 4 cups sliced strawberries

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1. In a large bowl, toss together the spinach and strawberries.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, sugar, paprika, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds. Pour over the spinach and strawberries, and toss to coat.
