Strawberry Tossed Salad

This is all that was left of a giant bowl of salad after a recent potluck...
Before I moved to Kentucky, I went to grad school in North Carolina.  While there, I made lots of amazing friends, and one in particular loved to cook.  She always brought the most amazing goodies to gatherings, but her Strawberry Tossed Salad was my hands-down favorite.  It's fresh and sweet and crunchy and just plain ol' good at the same time.  And Lara was generous enough to share the recipe with me before I moved here.  This is extremely lucky for me since every spring I start dreaming about this salad...  :-)  Go make it yourself before strawberries are out of season!

(Lara recently started her own food, culture and art blog over at Durham Food & Art, so go check her out!)  
Strawberry Tossed Salad
Serves a crowd

Dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp paprika

Salad:
12 cups greens of choice (I like fresh spinach--it holds up well to the dressing.)
2 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
1 cup monterey jack cheese
1 cup honey roasted cashews or sugared pecans

Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk or in a jar with a lid and shake.  Let sit for at least an hour, but don't refrigerate it or the olive oil with harden.

When ready to serve, toss all of the ingredients in a large bowl.  (Don't make the salad until you are ready to serve.  The cheese, strawberries and nuts get soggy fast.)

What a great looking salad! I'm particularly intrigued by the paprika in the dressing - a little sweet heat!

This looks delicious! I love a little sweet/savory salad in the spring. That salad would be great with some salty feta crumbled over top, too. Yum!

This looks like a stellar salad! We got strawberries and mixed greens in our CSA today, so it was meant to be that I found this! =)

Once, I was Cheap Air Forces sitting in leathers in the ER, restrained to a hospital bed with a security guard outside my door.

An old pilot trick for airshows many years ago was to take off on windy days and land in the same location. This can only be done on windy days with aircraft that have slow stall speeds.

Most likely you have a burned out turn signal relay. Most likely the relay is located in your fuse panel and is a very inexpensive item to replace.
