Ingredients for salad:
- Lettuce (cut into bite size) or spinach. I prefer spinach but have never tried the two together for this recipe.
- Strawberries (quartered)
Ingredients for dressing:
- Red wine vinegar
- Corn oil. I have tried olive oil but it's heavier and does not mix well with the other ingredients.
- Poppy seeds (happy drug testing a la Seinfeld)
- Sugar. I use sugar substitute (agave nectar or Equal) which works better than cane sugar texture-wise and visually speaking.
- Paprika (the highlight of the dressing)
Disclaimer is that my measurements are not exact as I make it according to taste. But the below measurements should work just fine.
For two generous sized salads:
1/4-1/3 cup of red wine vinegar
1/2-1 cup of oil (1/2 cup should be more than enough)
1 tablespoon of poppy seeds
1 tablespoon of sugar/substitute
1 tablespoon of paprika
Mix it all together and adjust whatever ingredients for taste.
*The salad tastes better if slightly chilled so perhaps place the dressing in the fridge for 15 minutes prior to serving.
Nice! Gunna try this.
