This is a wonderful and refreshing salad that I got from Best of Bridge. I played around with it a bit and added a few other fresh fruits to it. This is yummy and great to offset a very rich main dish, such as my Death to Dieter's Lasagna.
SERVES 6 -8
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh spinach
- 2 pints sliced fresh strawberries, cut into thirds
- 1 (4 ounce) can mandarin orange sections, drained,reserving 2 tsp of the juice for the dressing
- 1 fresh kiwi, sliced in quarters
Dressing
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup light oil
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced onions
Directions
1

Make well ahead to allow flavors to blend.3
Taste dressing and adjust sugar/vinegar for your sweet/tart taste preferences.4

Wash strawberries, drain, pat dry and cut in thirds.6
Shake dressing container well and toss with spinach, strawberries, kiwi and mandarin orange sections just before serving, otherwise the spinach will wilt.7
This makes a wonderfully tart, slightly sweet and very colorful salad!

This was just outstanding. My husband is on a soup/salad diet, so I am casting about for new recipes, and this is a keeper. Not only was it delicious, it was a delight to the eye as well. I left out the sesame seed and used fresh oranges because that is what we had on hand. Thank you!

Awesome! Very light and satisfying. I took to a church picnic. Many people wanted the recipe.

This was an elegant salad, with wonderful taste & eye appeal. I added blueberries, cut the kiwi into slices & then quartered each slice, & used only 2 T poppy seeds. I served this at a bridal shower & received many compliments. This is a great recipe that I will make again.

The entire family gave this 5 stars. I did cut the sesame seed back to 1 tablespoon, and that seemed to be enough. I followed the rest exactly as instructed. The salad is very pretty in the bowl, and the sweet/tart taste did not disappoint. I will make this often!
