Strawberry Salad
Great for summer and goes with anything: chicken, steak...
I might even try it with ice cream ;)
My friend brought over this salad in December and as soon as I tasted it I had to have the recipe- I've made it many times since then and I have discovered that everyone who tastes it asks for the recipe.

This is a very flexible salad- add more or less fruit or lettuce, depending on your taste.
The original recipe used spinach but I love spring mix- use whatever you like! Make it your own!
My sister-in-law also adds candied Almonds which gives it a nice crunch.
1 box of fresh strawberries, sliced
2 kiwis, sliced
1 box of spring mix lettuce.
Salad Dressing: mix together 1/3 cup sugar. 1/4 cup canola oil. 1/4 cup Raspberry or red wine vinegar.
Just before serving, add dressing to the strawberry salad and toss it all together.
P.S. If my strawberries are too tart, I slice them up ahead of time, sprinkle a little sugar on them and let them sit in the fridge for a couple hours. Not only does this make the strawberries sweeter, it adds a nice juice to the salad.
