Summer Foods

Summer is about half way over and there are still lots of BBQs and picnics and potlucks. This is one of favorite salads of all time. It's so simple. I make it year round, especially in the late winter when I'm longing for warmer temps. (I sometimes substitute the lemon juice for lime and the add a little cilantro. It makes a great dressing for taco salads!)

Strawberry Spinach Salad

1-10 oz. pkg fresh spinach
2 c. sliced strawberries (fresh, but frozen works too if you sweeten it)

3 T. lemon juice
1/4 c. sugar
6 T. vegetable oil

Place lemon juice and sugar in a blender. With blender running, add oil in a slow, steady stream; process until slightly thickened. Just before serving, combine spinach and strawberries in a large salad bowl and drizzle with dressing. Serves 6-8
