SWEET & TART STRAWBERRY SPINACH SALAD *~*~*~*~*~*~*~* INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup white sugar 2 tablespoons sesame seeds 1 tablespoon poppy seeds 1-1/2 teaspoons minced onion 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup cider vinegar 1 bag (10 ounces) fresh spinach 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced thin 1/2 cup shopped pecans 1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese DIRECTIONS: In a blender, combine the sugar, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, oil, and vinegar. Blend well. If the dressing seems thick, add a few drops of water. Remove the stems from the spinach and tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. Add to a large salad bowl along with strawberries, cheese and nuts and toss enough dressing to coat all. Do not add dressing until just before serving. (Can also be individually plated) Yield: 4-6 Servings ~*~*~*~*~*~*~* BERRY GOOD TIPS: When purchasing berries from the grocery store, shop with your nose. Always pick the plumpest and most fragrant berries. They should be firm, bright, and fresh looking with no mold or bruises, and fresh green caps. The caps should be bright green, fresh looking and fully attached. Berries should be dry and clean; usually medium to small berries have better eating quality than large ones. Strawberries do not ripen after they have been harvested, so choose strawberries that have been picked fully ripened. Select berries that are in dry; unstained containers (stained containers may indicate berries that are not freshly picked). Mold on berries spreads quickly. Never leave a moldy berry next to a good one. Click here for to find products that will help grow your small business. __,_._,___
