Spinach-Strawberry Salad with Goat Cheese Bruschetta

[printer friendly version]

The sweetness of the strawberries and salad dressing contrasts nicely with the garlic bread's pungent goat-cheese flavor.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sherry or white wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced red onion
3/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
1/4 Hungarian sweet paprika
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 cups torn spinach (about 1 pound)
2 cups strawberries, cut in half
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
1 (3 ounce) log goat cheese, cut into six slices
6 (i ounce) slices French bread, toasted

Combine the first 8 ingredients in a jar; cover tightly, and shake vigorously.

Combine the spinach and strawberry halves in a large bowl, and toss gently. Pour the dressing over the spinach mixture, tossing gently to coat. Spoon 1 cup salad on to six plates; sprinkle each serving with 1 teaspoon toasted almonds.

Spread cheese over toast slices; top each salad with 1 bruschetta.
