Spinach and Strawberry Salad

Minoo served the Pasta with Tomato Paste and Peas with a side dish of salad.  Minoo got some extra spinach from the South Arm Community Garden managed by the seniors. The freshly picked organic spinach was ultra sweet.

    This looks fresh & yummy. I really like salads without lettuce so I’m looking forward to making this! 🙂

    Cracked black pepper is a perfect match for strawberries. Try it on this salad!

    Just made and ate it, it was yummy. I didn’t have poppy seeds though. The sugary dressing matched with the sweet fresh fruit made it taste like candy.
