Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups young spinach leaves thoroughly rinsed and dried
  • 2 cups ripe strawberries hulled and cut into thin slices
  • 1/2 cup red onion finely sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the spinach leaves, sliced strawberries, red onion, walnuts, and goat cheese. Gently fold the ingredients together to ensure an even distribution.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, maple syrup, whole grain mustard, and poppy seeds until well blended. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your preference.
  3. Just before serving, pour the creamy poppy seed drizzle over the salad and carefully toss to coat all the ingredients in the dressing.
  4. For optimal flavor, serve the salad immediately, or let it rest in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
