Spinach Strawberry Salad

A  HOMEPLACE  RECIPE

This lovely, elegant, colorful salad will wow your guests every time!  Well, at least it wows my guests every time.

It’s a true country recipe learned leaning over the shoulders of two lovely, elegant, colorful friends.

Believe it or not, we-the-elegant were in a ladies’ poker group and took turns providing dinners.  We were known to spend more time talking about shopping, recipes and local gossip than playing cards until one of our ladies (Viola) would holler, “Are we going to PLAY or NOT?”

This salad appeared at one of our  poker night dinners at a  farmhouse way out there in Fairfield, and the salad was a colossal hit!
