1/3 cup brown sugar

 

Beat together then add:

 

3/4 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)

This is our sneaky way of having our kids eat their fruits and veggies. This is an easy, quick, salad and always a hit at parties.

 

Bag of fresh baby spinach

1 Cup strawberries (sliced)

3 green onions (optional)

¼ Cup of sliced almonds (optional)

Poppy seed dressing (Brianna’s is the best)

Toss the spinach and strawberries. Add extra’s if wanted. Then individually serve the poppy seed dressing.
