Strawberry Spinach Salad

Brandon keeps putting spinach in our smoothies in the morning....in an effort to get rid of some so I wouldn't be having spinach smoothies for a month straight, I made this salad.  Janers had given me some strawberries as well...so we were set! 

adapted from recipezaar

1 lb spinach

1 pint strawberries

1/2 cup pecans, toasted

Dressing

1/3 cup roland raspberry red wine vinegar (I couldn't find this vinegar...so I used a pomegranate red wine vinegar)

1/2 cup sugar

1 t dry mustard

3/4 cup vegetable oil

2 t poppy seeds

Toast pecans over low heat, set aside to cool.  Combine dressing ingredients and shake well.  Toss and garnish with a few sliced strawberries.  Serve immediately.  Since the two of us wouldn't be eating a whole pound of spinach in one sitting...I just put the amount of spinach we would eat on each plate, topped with strawberries, pecans, and dressing.   Then kept the remaining dressing in the fridge.  The would be great with some feta cheese as well.
