Sioux Lookouts Strawberry Spinach Salad Recipe

	Toleliz / All my dishes 2 months ago There is a radio show on the CBC called the Vinyl Cafe and they featured this recipe once and it was requested so many times that they had to put it on their website. It is a bit involved but worth every minute. Of course you can substitue some ready made stuff to save a bit of time.... More Prep:20m Servings:6	Toleliz

Ingredients

SALAD:

1 pkg. Spinach, about 10 ounces

1 - 2 cups sliced strawberries, 1 pint

DRESSING:

1/4 cup sugar (60 ml)

1 1/2 Tbsp. poppy seeds (25 ml)

1/4 tsp. paprika (1 ml)

1/2 cup vegetable oil (125 ml)

1/4 cup raspberry vinegar (60 ml)

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce (60 ml)

1 green onion - finely chopped

Almond Garnish:

1/2 cup slivered almonds (125 ml)

1/4 cup sugar (60 ml)

2 tsp. water (10 ml)

Directions

SALAD: Wash spinach and strawberries.

Tear the spinach into smaller bits if needed and slice or quarter the strawberries. Mix them together in a bowl. Set aside.

DRESSINGCombine all the dressing ingredients in a container with a lid. Shake well before serving. The dressing can be made up a day or two in advance

ALMOND GARNISH: Combine all ingredients in a non-stick frying pan or pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted sugar turns golden brown and coats almonds (approx. 5 - 10 minutes). Turn out onto a piece of greased foil. Cool and break into small pieces.

Cooks and cooks' helpers treat the almonds as snack food. It's best to double the almond recipe so that by the time the salad is ready to serve, there'll still be some almonds left!

ASSEMBLY:

Add almond pieces to salad. Add dressing just before serving.

SUBSTITUTIONS

SALAD: Can be made with a combination of spinach and romaine. Try using fresh raspberries or a smaller amount of strawberries and mandarin oranges, kiwi, or blueberries.

DRESSING: If you don't have raspberry vinegar, here's another good dressing:

1/2 cup sugar

2 Tbsp. sesame seeds

1 tbsp. poppy seeds

1/4 tsp. paprika

1/2 cup oil

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 green onion - chopped

I had this salad at a luncheon a couple weeks ago. They used walnuts instead of the almonds. It was wonderful! You get my 5.
