Some friends had us over for dinner last month and served this salad. I've eaten it at least once a week since then. Did I mention I'm not much of a salad-eater?
Spinach Strawberry Salad
1 bag of spinach, washed
1 cup strawberries, quartered
1 cup walnuts, candied* and chopped
1/2 cup feta cheese
Dressing:
2-3 T red raspberry jam (with seeds)
2 T red wine vinegar
1/3 cup walnut oil or olive oil
Blend together
* To candy nuts, simply heat a 1/2 cup sugar over medium-low heat. Stir regularly. As the sugar liquifies, stir in walnuts until coated. Remove from heat immediately. Pour covered nuts onto a cutting board to cool and chop again if necessary.
One other note: When they are in season, I like to substitute pomegranate seeds for strawberries.
