Strawberry Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

Such a big hit whenever I make it! I've adapted it since I originally posted it on a previous page (http://www.squidoo.com/canadadayparty), so if you need exact measurements, try the one on that page, otherwise, give the below salad a try!

- Raw spinach (optional, add romaine lettuce)
- Strawberries (I cut into 4 pieces)
- Feta cheese sprinkled on top
- Red onions sliced & cut into 1 in. pieces (I only like a small taste, so I use about 1/4 c.)
- Handful of *toasted walnuts (or any nuts)

Dressing:
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 TBSP red wine vinegar
1/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoons poppy seeds

Directions

1. In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, strawberries, sliced onion, nuts & cheese.
2. In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, milk and poppy seeds. Shake well and pour the dressing over salad or serve with dressing on the side.


*toasting the nuts brings out a better flavour - if you haven't had toasted nuts before, you've missed out! Throw some on a cookie sheet and put in a 350 degree oven for 5 - 10 minutes.

The Beginning

I was talking recipes with a friend (Jillian), and she mentioned how she thought it would be fun to start a recipe blog with friends, which I've been thinking of for a few months, so with her inspiration, here it is - let's see where it goes!

Since I have no idea what to title this blog,  I've currently titled it "Best Ever Made" because if my boys  really really like the dinner I just made, they exclaim, "Wow mom, it's the best you ever made!". And that's what we all strive for, right? To make a dinner that is healthy and will get eaten with the least amount of whining possible!
