We are getting a lot of spinach and beet greens right now, so spinach salad is being served several times a week. Here are two of our favorite recipes.
Strawberry Spinach Salad
(when everything has been freshly picked, this is one of the best salads in the world)
spinach
sliced strawberries
1/2 c slivered almonds, toasted
1/4 c sweet onion, diced
dressing:
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c oil
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1/4 tsp worcestershire sauce
Wash and dry spinach. Mix with strawberries, almonds and onion.
Mix dressing ingredients in a small bowl, then toss into the spinach mixture.
Spinach Apple Salad
(because apples last longer than strawberries)
spinach
other greens, if desired
1 c diced, unpeeled apple
walnuts, optional
dressing:
4 tbsp cider vinegar
4 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
Mix salad ingredients in a large bowl. Mix dressing in a small bowl, then toss with salad.
Tastes great and it's healthy too. Just look out for Popeye.
