Strawberry Spinach Salad

Strawberry and Spinach Salad w/Poppy Seed Dressing

Dressing:
1/2 cup mayo
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp poppy seeds

*mix or shake well

Pour dressing over a bowl of baby spinach and sliced strawberries.

This recipe is from Leah. I always get requests for it when we have a luncheon at work. I brought it yesterday for a luncheon and I added mandarin oranges and sliced almonds, and it was really good that way, too! I'm not sure what the calorie count is, but I'm sure it's not too much. I use light mayonnaise and skim milk, so that cuts some calories. It's healthy, too, with the spinach and strawberries. I also just use 1 tbsp of poppy seeds, and that's more than enough. Nice springtime salad!

I LOVE this salad! Yeah, I think it's a "no guilt" salad. I make it with light mayo and skim or low fat milk as well. I even happen to have the ingredients right now..maybe I'll have to whip one up for dinner!
