Spinach contains many antioxidants and anti-cancer agents. These agents have been shown to slow down cell division in different cancers. This superfood also contains folate, magnesium, vitamin C, E and A and had anti-inflammatory properties.
This salad is a summer staple for me. It is light, fresh tasting and compliments most things on the grill. Last night my husband grilled burgers (with 5 types of chilies) with a side of this salad. I typically make it with poppy seed dressing. However, with no poppy seeds in the house I made a honey-mustard dijon vinegrette. I also usually make this salad with baby spinach, but decided to use mature spinach this time.
Salad
1 bunch of spinach
1/4 red onion sliced thinly
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/2 pint strawberries sliced
cracked fresh pepper
Vinaigrette
3 tsp runny honey
1 T red wine vinegar
1 T grainy dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
Combine ingredients and shake well.

I guess I better patent my five alarm recipe before someone steals it…
I love strawberries in salads, this looks great!
I was wondering when you would get to posting this salad recipe! You made this for me a few years back and I loved it so much I took the recipe before I left. I still make at least once a month! Glad to see others can now enjoy it!
Looks delicious and inviting :)
