Spring Spinach Salad

Spring is here!!

Spring and summer at our house is about grilling and pairing grilled creations with a great salad. As usual, Food Network Canada is always a source of inspiration - and what else is there to do on a cold and damp Victoria Day than watch Food Network? So here it is, a spinach salad inspired by Michael Smith.

Victoria Day Spinach Salad with Strawberries with Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing

For Salad

Baby Spinach
Strawberries, quartered
Red onion to taste, cut in thin ribbons
Pecans, toasted
Arrange beautifully in a bowl like the one Dara and Peter gave us when we got hitched...

For Raspberry Dressing

Really good white wine vinegar- 1 part
Yummy olive oil - 2 parts
A handful of raspberries

Brip (use a hand blender to blend, but I like to call it bripping) and serve over salad.

Enjoy!! And feel free to experiment with different fruit!!
