Cranberry Spinach Salad

March Recipe of the Month – Cranberry Spinach Salad

Origin: My Sigma Kappa sorority sister Kathy made this delicious salad for us “girls” a few weeks back. When I asked her where she got it, from yet another sorority sister.

On the sweet side, try pairing this salad with something savory – A hearty soup or sandwich.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup slivered almonds

1 tablespoon butter

1 pound baby spinach

1 cup dried cranberries

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

1 tablespoon poppy seeds

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons minced onion

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 cup white wine vinegar

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1/2 cup vegetable oil (or olive oil)



Sauté almonds in butter until lightly browned. Set aside to cool

In a large bowl toss the spinach with the almonds and cranberries. Set aside.

In a covered jar mix together remaining ingredients and shake.

Toss with spinach before serving
