Just a few words about my new favorite salad. It is easy to put together and oh so DELICIOUS!! I found this recipe over at Moogie and Pap. She is always making some amazing things!! I love that you really don't need to measure the ingredients and the dressing is so good!!
Bowtie Spinach Salad
adapted from Moogie & Pap
1 bag baby spinach
8 oz. mini-bow tie pasta
1 package bacon cooked crisp and broken into small pieces.
4 oz. mozzarella cheese, cut into about 1 inch cubes
4-6 strawberries cut into bite sized pieces
1/4 cup almond slivers
Dressing
1 cup canola oil
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon sweet onion
1 Tablespoon poppy seeds
*Optional 1 strawberry
Update: This is my new favorite dressing for this salad:
Sweet Vinaigrette Dressing
2/3 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon poppy seeds (optional) Mix well. Shake before serving.Boil pasta as directed on the package. Rinse under cold water and set aside. Combine dressing ingredients in the blender. I always add 1 strawberry to make it a pretty pink color and it add great flavor.
Combine salad ingredients in a bowl. Toss gently to combine the ingredients.

ReplyDeleteOh yum, Tiffanee! This sounds delicious. I really love all salads with strawberries...they just go so well in a salad!
ReplyDeletewow Tiffanee this does sound great! I love it! I will have to try this very soon. Is the red wine vinegar in the dressing, very powerful? Or is it mild?
