Spinach Strawberry Pecan Salad


I've had this several times at weddings, and finally took the time to search for and try it! I love it! A little like some of the other spinach salads out there- but still one of my favorites!

Ingredients

1 bag baby spinach
1 pint (or really about 1/2 a pint) strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup pecans (I like the ones that are already broken up)
* Lane likes to add crumbled feta or blue cheese also... hey, he's a cheese guy!

DRESSING

  • 1/3 cup vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar)
  • 1/2 cup sugar or splenda
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard (the seasoning kind)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
Place spinach, sliced strawberries and pecans in bowl. Toss with dressing. Sprinkle a few more strawberries and pecans and wah-la! Delicious salad!
