It's summer time and that means salads, salads, and more salads. Here's a recipe for my new favorite. It's a Pampered Chef recipe and my friend Keri made it for us this past week at our "recipe exchange."
Strawberry Spinach Salad
Dressing:
1 lemon
2 T white wine vinegar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 T vegetable oil
1 t. poppy seeds
Salad:
1/4 c sliced natural almonds, toasted
1 1/2 c strawberries, hulled and quartered
1/2 medium cucumber, sliced and cut in half
1/4 small red onion, sliced into thin wedes
1 6 oz. package of baby spinach
For the dressing, zest lemon to masure 1/2 t. of zest. Juice lemon to measure 2 T of juice. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT USING BOTTLED LEMON JUICE AND BOTTLED LEMON ZEST. FRESH LEMON MAKES THIS SALAD!!!!! Add remainder of dressing ingredients, wisk, and refridgerate until you're ready to serve.
Combine salad ingredients. Top with dressing and Chow Down baby!

Um, yummy. When should I get there??? Seriously, that looks really good. I am relieved to see steak on the menu as I was wondering after we got off the phone how Rick would take to salad for dinner. :)
Poor poor Matt. Sarah just isn't as old as your kids and can't bbq for Father's Day like Jake and Carter can. Guess he'll get a crumpled up piece of napkin - her specialty.
No, actually, she was quite cooperative while I made breakfast, including two things I never cook - bacon and sausage.
Michelle, you show off. All Adam got a plate of chicken enchiladas and a root beer float for dessert...
In fact, the poor kid made ME breakfast this morning. I'm fired.
