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.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

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

DRESSING

1/3 cup roland raspberry red wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar or sugar substitute
1 teaspoon dry mustard
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Directions

1
Toast pecans over low heat, set aside to cool.
2
Combine dressing ingredients and shake well.
3
Toss and garnish with a few sliced strawberries.
4
Serve immediately.
5
(Thanks to Chef #320254's review I'm updating this) If you'd like, use a high speed mini-mixer to emulsify the dressing.
6
Roland, makes a Raspberry Flavored Wine Vinegar.

Love all of the ingredients and have had many strawberry spinach salads, but this one didn't do it for me. Maybe I just had higher expectations for a 5 star rating with 115 reviews.

My girlfriend made this for a party a few months ago and it was WONDERFUL. I don't even like strawberries, but this salad quickly turned me from a skeptic to an admirer!

I've made this salad several times now, sometimes mixing dark green lettuces and spinach. I also LOVE to add feta cheese. The combination of strawberry, pecans, THIS salad dressing and the feta cheese is amazing. I crave this salad!!! Its fabulous!
