April 17th, 2012

Ingredients

6 ounces spinach (about 7 cups)
3 oranges
1 1⁄2 cups strawberries, halved
1 cup walnut pieces (toasted if desired)

Dressing
1 teaspoon sugar
1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1⁄2 teaspoons vinegar
1 teaspoon finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons salad oil

Directions

  1. Wash and dry spinach, tear into pieces, and chill.
  2. To prepare orange: Cut off peel and membrane of outer part of the sections. Using a paring knife gently cut out sections from membrane edges. You end up with orange sections with no outer membrane. It is worth the extra effort to see the vibrant color.
  3. To make dressing: Combine all ingredients in a jar and shake well or blend in a blender.
  4. Right before serving, toss orange and strawberries with walnuts and spinach. Add dressing to coat salad. Serve immediately.
  5. Refrigerate leftovers within 2-3 hours.
