Strawberry Spinach Salad

Ok- here is the recipe for one of the VERY BEST salads I have ever tasted. I got it from Nicole in our recipe group. Truthfully, I'm not drawn to spinach, even after all those Pop-Eye cartoons. In fact, we even caught a big green beetle wandering off my plate, which did not deepen my love for the green leaves. However, this recipe did. If it is made like this, I could eat it just about any day! SOOOO GOOD! You've gotta try this!

Strawberry Spinach Salad

1 pkg. baby spinach
1 1/2 cups chopped apples
1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
1 pkg Craisins
1 small package (about 1 cup) slivered almonds (wet almonds, roll in sugar, roast 300 degrees for 5-10 minutes or until desired)

Dressing
2 Tbsp. lemon zest
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. mustard seed
1/3 cup olive oil
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup sugar (can use less)

Put this in a sealed container and shake. Don't pour it on the salad until you are ready to serve.

Enjoy!
