Strawberry Spinach Salad

By jojomail1

From the kitchen of Dawn Snyder. Light and fresh, only requires a little dressing.
*NOTE ‐ The original recipe calls for no water or salad dressing and called for a ½ cup oil. I have modified the
recipe to have just enough oil so dressing sticks to the leaves and replaced the oil with an oil free pre‐made salad
dressing and water. The water is important to dilute the flavoring since we are adding flavor by adding dressing
instead of flavorless oil. You can totally remove the oil if you want and up the ratios of dressing and water. The
dressing can be purchased at Publix
