Equipment

  • 1 large salad bowl with tongs
  • 1 sharp knife to cut fruit
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 blender
  • 1 mason jar with lid to store the salad dressing until ready to use

Ingredients
  

  • 12 cups fresh baby spinach leaves stems removed, if desired, this is about 2 bags
  • 1 lb. fresh strawberries washed
  • 4-5 kiwifruit peeled and sliced into ¼” slices
  • 1/3 cup almonds sliced
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil see note below
  • 1/4 cup raspberry vinegar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar or honey
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 green onions sliced thinly
  • 2 heaping teaspoons sesame seeds
  • 1 heaping teaspoon poppy seeds

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the spinach, strawberries, kiwi, and almonds.
  • Mix remaining ingredients in a blender for about 10 seconds until emulsified.
  • Pour over salad just before serving, or drizzle over individual servings as desired.

Notes

NOTE: You can substitute 1 tablespoonful of instant minced onions if you don’t have green onions available.
 
NOTE: I usually substitute honey for the sugar in the recipe.
 
NOTE: When I initially posted this recipe, avocado oil was not as readily available as it is today (April 2018). I recommend using avocado oil rather than canola oil for the dressing since it's healthier. It also does not have the strong aftertaste that olive oil has.
