This is one of our favorite salads...we eat it all the time in the summer. My dear husband, Larry, loves this an so do I! You can make a meal of it. Hope you try it!

Strawberry Spinach Salad

------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1/3 cup Splenda
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon paprika
pinch kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

10 ounces fresh spinach -
rinsed, dried and torn into
bite-size pieces
1 quart strawberries -
cleaned, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup pecans, toasted*
1 small red onion, sperated into rings

Directions
*To toast pecans, place on foil in a 400*F oven. WATCH THEM CAREFULLY! Leave in only about 2 to three minutes. If you open the oven door and smell
the nuts, they are done! Nuts have a very high oil content and can burn in a flash...be very watchful of them! Let cool before putting in the salad.

1 In a medium bowl, whisk together the poppy seeds, Splenda,
olive oil, vinegar and paprika. Cover, and chill for one hour.

2 In a large bowl, combine the spinach, strawberries and
pecans. Pour dressing over salad, and toss. Refrigerate 10 to
15 minutes before serving.

3 cups sliced fresh strawberries


1 green onion, sliced (greens & all)


1/2 cup toasted pecan halves


DRESSING


1/2 cup vegetable oil


1/4 cup balsamic vinegar


1-2 T. Splenda (or 1/3 cup Sugar)


1 tsp. poppy seeds


Salt & Pepper


DIRECTIONS:


Place all dressing ingredients into a small screwtop jar and shake well. Dressing keep in refrigerator for 1 week.


To toast pecans, place in one layer on a cookie sheet and bake in 350*F oven for 5-10 minutes. Do not allow to burn.


Combine salad ingredients, sprinkle in cooled pecan halves. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss until all leaves are coated.


Serve immediately. Serves 6
