Spinach Strawberry Salad

By ghudsontx

Spinach and strawberries what an odd combination for a recipe. That is what I thought before trying this the first time. Now I get many requests to bring this for dinner parties. The raspberry wine vinegar adds a marvelous taste, and compliments the first two ingredients. This salad is very eye pleasing in crystal.

Ingredients

• 1 lb spinach (I pinch off the larger stems)
• 1 pint strawberry, sliced set a few aside (egg slicer works wonders)
• 1/2 cup pecans, toasted
• 1/3 cup roland raspberry red wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup sugar or 1/2 cup sugar substitute
• 1/2 cup sugar substitute
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
