Strawberry Spinach Salad

Recipe from: Melinda McCarthy
Serves: 8

INGREDIENTS
2 bunches spinach, rinsed and torn into bite sized pieces
4 c sliced strawberries
1/3 c canola oil
¼ c white wine vinegar
½ c white sugar
¼ tsp paprika
1 T minced onion
2 T sesame seeds
1 T poppy seeds
¼ c sliced almonds

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, sugar, paprika, onion, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds.
In a large bowl, toss together the spinach and the strawberries.
Pour dressing over the spinach and strawberries. Sprinkle almonds on top. Toss to coat.
Serve immediately.

NOTES
Leave dressing on the counter until ready to use. Do not put it in the fridge since it will become too thick to toss with the spinach. Also, salad must be prepared immediately before serving. It will not store in the refrigerator.
