I love that it feels like summer and I get to make this salad again! I didn't used to like pairing fruit with my greens and realize others out there might feel the same. How glad I am that I kept tasting them at church functions, restaurants, and dinners with friends because I sure love it now! This is the one I make most often:
spinach
strawberries, sliced thin
sweet yellow bell pepper, sliced thin
pecan halves, I like to roast them with sugar first
I've added grilled chicken to this salad before too for a light, main-dish, summer supper. Yum.
Dressing:
½ Cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp raspberry vinegar (last time I used a pomegranate balsamic vinegar which was very good too)
1/3 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
¾ tsp poppy seeds, optional
In blender, puree ½ cup strawberries till smooth. Add sugar and vinegar; blend well. Blend in yogurt. Stir in poppy seeds. Refrigerate until serving time.
