Ingredients

  • 120 gram baby spinach, rinsed
  • 250 gram strawberries, hulled, sliced
  • 50 gram feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoon sliced almonds
Poppy seed dressing
  • 2 1/2 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated onion
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon poppy seeds

Method

  • 1
    Combine the Poppy seed dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well to emulsify.

    Place the baby spinach leaves in a bowl, add strawberries and toss gently with 4 tablespoons of the dressing.
  • 3
    Crumble in the feta cheese and scatter over the almonds.

Notes

• If avoiding dairy, you could omit the feta cheese in this recipe. • Leftover dressing will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, and goes particularly well with cucumber or avocado.
