Spinach Salad with Strawberries

Since we have gotten our first taste of spring here in California, I thought this salad would be a good choice. The credit for this goes to my in-laws Larry and Marilyn. When they first told me about it last year, it just sounded wrong, then I made it, and it just looked wrong, (the dressing anyway), then you eat it, it’s not wrong.

½ Cup Olive Oil
1 tsp White Vinegar
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbs sesame seeds
¼ tsp paprika
1 tbs poppy seeds
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup slivered almonds
1 qt fresh strawberries
10 to 16 oz fresh spinach, chopped, cleaned and dry.
1 tbs chopped shallot

Wisk Olive Oil, Vinegar, Worcestershire Sauce, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, paprika, sugar and onion. Chill in refrigerator.

Combine spinach, strawberries and almonds in a large bowl. Pour dressing over salad. Refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
