Day 2: Strawberry spinach salad

With a house full of girls, pink is always a winner. This salad is definitely pink, and a favorite use of the spinach.

Ingredients:

1/4 pound spinach

1/4 cup tat soi

1 green onion

6-8 large strawberries

1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup sugar

In a small saucepan, add the sugar and pecans. Roast on medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Pour pecans onto wax paper to cool.

Coarsely chop the spinach and tat soi (after you have washed it, of course). Finely chop the green onion. Slice the strawberries. Mix all together in a large bowl.

Serve topped with the sugar roasted pecans and a favorite sweet dressing. Make the salad super pink and delicious by making your own strawberry vinaigrette. I used the recipe from here:   http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/89812/strawberry-vinaigrette/

It's also good with a store-bought raspberry vinaigrette.
