Spinach Salads

Spinach/Strawberry Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

Dressing:

1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups salad oil
1 tsp. grated onion
1 Tbsp poppy seeds (optional) I leave these out

Mix sugar, mustard, salt, paprika and vinegar in a medium mixer bowl.
Slowly add the oil beating constantly with an electric mixer. Continue
beating until thick-add the onions and poppy seeds (if using)-beat a
few minutes more or until the sugar disolves. Store any remaining
dressing in the refrigerator.

Salad:
1 package fresh spinach leaves, torn into bite size pieces
1 - 2 fresh oranges, peeled and sectioned or use 1 can mandrin
oranges, drained
fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Sliced fresh strawberries
Red grapes
Sliced almonds

Mix all but the almonds in a bowl, add the dressing ( a little at a
time until you get the salad dressed with as much dressing as needed),
toss well then add the almonds on top of the salad. Serves about 6

Also added to spinach salad is: cooked asparagus spears, for a main
meal, add cooked chciken or turkey breast cubed maybe instead of
almonds use pecans. Jan
