Strawberry Spinach Salad

This is not only a beautifully colorful salad, but it taste great and is simple to make. 

• 12 ounces of spinach (I buy the baby spinach leaves in the bag)
• pint of sliced strawberries
• 2 T sesame seeds

Wash the spinach and spin dry.  Toss with the sliced strawberries and sesame seeds.  Chill. 

For the dressing:

• 1/4 cup safflower oil
• 2 T white vinegar
• 1 1/2 T sugar
• 2 T thinly sliced green onions
• 1 t salt
• dash of pepper
•  splash of hot sauce (Thai Kitchen Spicy Thai Chili Sauce)

Put all of the ingredients in a glass jar and shake.  Toss with the salad before serving. 

I have to add, that one of my most used kitchen tools is my salad spinner.

It makes washing and drying lettuce a breeze and, better yet, it so fun to use that my kids beg me to let them make the salad.
