Spinach Salad with Strawberries
spinach leaves
sliced strawberries or nectarines, peaches, mandarin oranges (whatever fruit is in season)
sliced almonds, lightly toasted
julienned jicama or sliced water chestnuts (for crunch)
a little bit of watercress, if desired
Toss salad lightly with enough Honey Dressing to moisten but don’t oversaturate.
Honey Dressing:
2 tbsp parsley leaves (or cilantro)
1 small onion (about 1 oz.), peeled (Maui or other sweet onion is excellent if available)
1/2 tbsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp sweet Hungarian paprika
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp celery seed
3 tbsp honey
3 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/3 cup vegetable oil (Canola is good)
In food processor using metal blade, mince parsley by turning machine on and off a few times. With machine running, mince onion by dropping it through feed tube. Add remaining ingredients and process about 5 seconds. Yield: about 3/4 cup
