Plan ahead the dressing needs to chill for 2 or more hours before using, feel free to use different cheese and nuts, I have tried this using other but I have to say the feta and candied walnuts are the best... you will LOVE this salad! Ingredients:
3 tablespoons sugar (or more to taste) |
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (can use white balsamic is better) |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons poppy seeds (can use more) |
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced (washed then thoroughly dried before slicing) |
1 lb fresh baby spinach leaves, trimmed (can use less) |
1 small red onion, sliced |
1/4 cup bacon bits |
1/3-1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese |
1/3 cup candied walnuts |
Directions:
1. For dressing; in a bowl or in a food processor mix together sugar, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; whisk or process until well combined; start with 3 tablespoons of sugar and add in more after if desired, mix in poppy seeds and season with more black pepper if needed, refrigerate for 2 or more hours.
2. For the salad; combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl; pour the dressing over and chill for 10-15 minutes before serving.
