Post Strawberry Spinach Salad
2 bunches of fresh baby spinach
1 large head of Romaine lettuce, chopped
1 Vidalia Onion (or any sweet onion), thinly sliced
1 pint of fresh strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup of slivered almonds
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
2 tablespoons of Red Wine Vinegar
1/4 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of half-and-half
1 teaspoon celery seed

In a saute pan over medium heat, lightly toast the slivered almonds. Remove from heat.
Set aside.

Put spinach, romaine, onion and strawberries together in a large bowl. Toss lightly. Sprinkle on the toasted almonds.

Mix together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, sugar, half-and-half and celery seed in an airtight container. Shake vigorously to mix well or you can whisk together in a bowl.

Pour over the salad. Enjoy!

That looks and sounds good Mama. The strawberries are finally starting to look decent in the stores here. This would be a good one to make for a spring shower. Yum

Interesting, I need to make a small batch of this. I doubt DH would ever touch it. He is meat and taters all the way.
