Strawberry Spinach Salad


Nothing says summer to me like fresh fruits and veggies. This is a perfect summer meal that is healthy and tasty! And I'm always happy to find a salad recipe that Jonathan loves, too. Here's the recipe:

1 Tbsp. poppy seeds
1/4 cup white sugar (I often do less and add a little Splenda)
1/2 c. olive oil
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. minced onion
1 quart fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
10 oz. fresh spinach
1/4 c. almonds, sliced or slivered
feta cheese
Chicken breast cutlets

In a medium bowl, whisk together poppy seeds, sugar, olive oil, vinegar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and onion. Cover and chill for at least one hour (the flavors need to blend).

Season chicken breasts with garlic powder and other desired seasonings, and cook on the grill (I use my George Foreman grill) until cooked through but still tender.

Assemble your own salad with spinach, strawberries, almonds, and feta. Top with chicken. Stir dressing well, spoon 1-2 teaspoons over your salad, to desired wetness. Enjoy!
