We ate this salad over the 4th and it was Yummy!

Strawberry Romain Salad


•1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced (I have also used Craisins when strawberries aren't in season)

•2 heads of Romain lettuce, chopped (the recipe calls for spinach...but I like Romain better)

•1 cup sliced almonds

•1 recipe Honey Poppy Seed Dressing

In a medium skillet, toast almonds on medium high heat. Add 1/4 cup sugar and stir constantly until sugar melts and almonds toast to a golden brown. Spread almonds on wax paper to dry and cool. Put strawberries, almonds, lettuce, and dressing in separate containers and combine right before you eat.





Honey Poppy Seed Dressing:


•1/2 cup sugar

•1/4 cup honey

•1/2 tsp paprika

•1/2 tsp dry mustard

•1/2 tsp onion powder

•1/4 cup lemon juice

•1/2 cup vegetable oil

•1/4 tsp poppy seeds

Mix all ingredients except oil and poppy seeds in a blender. Gradually add oil and poppy seeds and continue blending.
