You don’t win friends with salad, but you will with this one. The warmer months are upon us and what says Summer more than sweet strawberries and a refreshing light salad.
What’s in the salad? You guessed it- Strawberries and baby spinach
Strawberry and baby spinach salad
Ingredients~
1 x 250g punnet of strawberries sliced 1 x packet of baby spinach
1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup white sugar 1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons sesame seeds 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Method~
1). Toss the baby spinach and strawberries together
2). Combine all the other ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk together.
3). Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving.
It’s a simple recipe with maximum impact. It is not your usual combination and it has beautiful colours (coincidentally Christmas colours!). The only downside is that it’s not a first date food, check your teeth for seeds before smiling at everyone.
