Ingredients

The salad

  • 6 cups baby spinach
  • 1 or 2 large ripe avocados , chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion chopped and rinsed under cold water
  • a handful of honey roasted almonds - you can use whatever nuts you like
  • 2 cups strawberries - halved or quartered - depends on the size of the berry
  • 4 tbsp feta - crumbled

Poppyseed dressing

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 shallot grated on a microplane
  • 1 Tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

Poppyseed dressing

  • Combine all ingredients except the oil. Stir to combine. You want the sugar mostly dissolved in the vinegar.
  • Drizzle the oil in while stirring.
  • Let the dressing sit for a while to let the poppy seeds hydrate.

The salad

  • Combine the salad ingredients and toss with about half the dressing. Taste and adjust the dressing to suit your palate. I like a bit more than half. You may like more.
