Strawberry Spinach Salad

Another good and healthy spinach and strawberry salad. The recipe called for 1 cup chopped avocado in there, but quite frankly, we think it's better without it. Save it for a savory salad.

Dressing:

    1/2 cup olive oil

    1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

    3 to 4 tablespoons brown sugar

    1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

    1 teaspoon mustard powder

    1 teaspoon onion powder

    Salt and pepper

Salad:

    One package (10 oz) fresh spinach (about 10 cups of torn leaves)

    4 cups sliced fresh strawberries (cleaned and hulled)

    1 cup blueberries

    1 mango, sliced

    1/4 cup cashews or slivered almonds

In a medium bowl, combine the dressing ingredients, and whisk together well. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can serve the dressing immediately or you can cover it and chill for an hour.

   

In a large bowl, combine all of the salad ingredients, except the cashew nuts. Add the dressing to the salad and toss. Sprinkle cashew nuts on top of the salad.
