Strawberry and Spinach Salad

Today focus was strawberries. My daughters love strawberries and I wanted to find a way for them to eat some greens with it. You can make the dressing the night before and let the favors infuse.

This recipe is a great party salad. Whenever I make this for a party it always goes as fast as the dessert.

The dressing for this salad will gelatinized and thicken if you don't use it right away. You can re-blend it, or use more olive oil to thin it out.
