TROPICAL SPINACH SALAD Serves 6
Amounts for all salad ingredients are approximate. Use as much of any as you like.

8 - 9 cups baby spinach leaves
2 cups sliced strawberries
3/4 canned mandarin orange slices drained and dried
3/4 cup pecan halves (substitute walnut pieces or sliced almonds)
If you prefer you can add one of the following:
Slices of Delicious, Gala or Fuji apple
fresh raspberries
sliced mangoes cut into pieces
Mix all ingredients and pour the Poppyseed dressing over all. Serve immediately.

CREAMY POPPYSEED DRESSING Do not vary amounts here.

3/4 cup Mayonnaise
1/3 cup sugar

2 teaspoons poppyseeds
Mix well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

TIP: Substitute rasperries for the strawberries and use raspberry vinegar in the dressing instead of apple cider vinegar for a real taste treat.
