Homemade Poppy Seed Dressing!

This isn't a great picture but the recipe is too tasty not to share!

Strawberry Spinach Salad
1 pound spinach, trimmed
1 pint strawberries, cut into slices
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons minced onion
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup almonds

Rinse the spinach and pat dry. Toss the spinach and strawberries in a large salad bowl. Process the sugar, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion, Worcestershire sauce, paprika and vinegar in a blender. Add vegetable oil gradually, procession constantly. Pour over the spinach mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle with almonds. Serve immediately. 

I love to make the poppy seed dressing on the weekends and take it with me for lunch all week long!

  1. Yum! Just curious, where do you buy poppyseeds? Can you get them at a normal grocery store or do you need to go to a specialty spice shop?
