Strawberry Salad

This is a family favorite during the summer months.

It is one of those kinds of recipes you can throw in any of your favorites, and add as much or a little as you like, but this is how I like it.

Salad greens-- spinach and spring mix

Fresh Strawberries or a combinations of frutis such as fresh pears, raspberries, pomegranate seeds, manaderine oranges, apples. Raspberries and Strawberries are really good together. You can also use dried cranberries if fresh fruit is not in season.

Green onions-sliced

candied pecans or almonds--put a little sugar and maybe about half a cup and about 2 or 3 tablespoons butter in a pan. Cook until carmelike and add nuts. Stir until nuts are well coated and then turn out onto waxed paper to cool.

Cheese crumbles-- I like reduced fat blue cheese crumbles but you could use whatever kind you like best.

Mix together above ingredients. Add dressing just before serving.

Dressing--Equal parts white vinegar, oil and sugar. Add together and mix well. Add dressising to salad just before serving as not to wilt the lettuce.
