Strawberry Mandarin Salad

I ended up in a conversation about the best uses for strawberries with Alexis this weekend. We absolutely agreed that Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes are the number one way to use strawberries. That's as far as our agreeing went, though. We might have made it further, but the kid went and threw me for a loop with SALAD.

Alexis was all, "SAAAAALAD, MOM. THAT'S THE SECOND BEST USE."

She wasn't entirely wrong. This salad is REALLY good.

I've posted this before but it's worthy of a repost. The recipe came from our neighbor Cindy and she's worthy of all of the things because she rules. Just like her salad.

It's pretty simple. You start with a bag of spinach (or Romaine or spring mix, if you are -meh- about bitter leafy stuff like I am).

Then you throw some mandarin oranges, sliced strawberries, chopped red onions, chopped pecans, and craisins on top. Toss things up and top with dressing.

Marzetti Poppyseed dressing. It's the correct choice for this.

Annnnd ... happy.

Cindy's More Than a Salad

1--10 oz bag of spring mix or whatever leafy stuff you want
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
1/4 red onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup craisins
Marzetti Poppyseed Dressing

1. Find a big bowl.

2. Throw the lettuce in it.

3. Throw the oranges, strawberries, red onion, pecans, and craisins in with the lettuce. Toss that salad.

4. Resist the urge to make the sort of joke a 16-year old boy would make.

5. Dress the salad however you want.

6. Enjoy!
