Recipe: Spinach Salad with Strawberries and Oranges

SPINACH SALAD WITH STRAWBERRIES AND ORANGES

1 lb. spinach leaves, washed, with stems removed
3 green onions, chopped
2 c. whole strawberries
1 sm. can mandarin oranges, drained
1/4 c. cashews, coarsely chopped
3 tbsp. honey
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 c. oil
2 tbsp. vinegar
1/2 tsp. celery seed

Be sure the spinach is very well washed, then dry it, wrap in a towel and refrigerate to make it crisp. Wash, hull, and drain the strawberries. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, chopped onions, strawberries, oranges, and cashews.

To make the dressing, beat all the remaining ingredients together with a fork or mix in a blender. Do not pour the dressing over the salad until ready to serve or the spinach will be limp. Makes 6 servings.
