spring strawberry salad

I'm dreaming of spring and all things springy.
I made this spring salad for friends last night and the recipe was requested, so I wanted to share it with all of you:

strawberry salad recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon minced onion
• 10 ounces fresh spinach
• 1 quart (or more!!) strawberries - cleaned, hulled and sliced
• 1/4 cup almonds, walnuts, or pecans - chopped
• feta cheese

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sugar, olive oil, vinegar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and onion. Cover, and chill for one hour.
2. Put spinach in a large bowl and pour dressing over salad (just enough to coat the spinach . . . you will have a LOT of dressing left over), add the strawberries, nuts, and cheese. Toss. Refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Throw some grilled chicken in there and you have a meal!! :)
Enjoy!!
