SPINACH SALAD WITH STRAWBERRIES AND PECANS



Spinach Salad With Strawberries and Pecans image

I love this salad. The first time I made it the onion was a little too much, so next time I did not add the whole onion-I only used half. Or for a shortcut you could buy your favorite brand of Poppyseed dressing.

SPINACH SALAD WITH STRAWBERRIES



Spinach Salad With Strawberries image

Delicious colorful light salad. I have also served with chicken tenders. Strawberries are my favorite especially when in season, but you can use any fruit desired. It takes a little while to make the spiced pecans, but is well worth it or you can also toast the pecans instead of using spiced version.
