Ingredients

10 - 12 oz spring mix or mesclun mix salad greens
6 oz fresh baby spinach
1/2 - 1 c bleu cheese crumbles
1 pt fresh strawberries
1 c (about 4 oz.) candied pecans (see recipe included)
2 c poppy seed dressing (see recipe included)
1/2 large red onion, cut into rings (optional)
1/3 c white granulated sugar (for poppy seed dressing)
1/2 c white vinegar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground dry mustard
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 c vegetable oil
2 Tbsp poppy seeds
8 oz (about 2 cups) pecan halves (for candied pecans)
1 egg white
1 Tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c white granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

1. For Salad: Wash and thoroughly dry spring/mesclun mix salad greens and baby spinach. Tear any large salad leaves into bite-size pieces. Place in a serving bowl. Remove the stems and caps from washed strawberries; discard; quarter the strawberries. Add to the greens and toss. Add bleu cheese crumbles to salad. Break part of 1 - 1 1/2 cups candied pecans in large pieces and leave others in halves; add to salad and toss. Serve salad drizzled with Poppy Seed Dressing. Arrange red onion slices on top of salad, if desired.
2. For Poppy Seed Dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine 1/3 cup sugar, vinegar, 1 tsp. salt, mustard and onion powder and process for 30 seconds. With blender or food processor on High, gradually add oil in a steady stream. Stir in poppy seeds.
3. For Candied Pecans: Preheat oven to 300°F. Put 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, 3/4 tsp. salt, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg in a plastic bag, shake to mix. Put egg, water, and vanilla in a bowl. Beat until slightly foamy, add pecans and coat well. Lift pecans out of bowl with a slotted spoon and put into the bag of sugar and spices. Shake pecans in bag making sure they are well coated. Bake 30 minutes on a baking pan lined with Silpat (Silicone baking sheet), parchment paper or lightly greased aluminum foil. 15 minutes into the baking, stir up the pecans with a fork. Let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container. Makes about 2 cups. Use about 1 - 1 1/2 cups candied pecan halves in the salad.

Tips:

Select the ripest and freshest strawberries. Look for bright red, plump berries that are free of blemishes and bruises.
Wash the strawberries thoroughly before slicing them. Remove the stems and any leaves.
Use a variety of greens for a colorful and flavorful salad. Arugula, spinach, and mixed greens are all good choices.
Add some crunch to your salad with nuts or seeds. Walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds are all great options.
Choose a cheese that will complement the flavors of the salad. Goat cheese, feta, and blue cheese are all good choices.
Make a simple vinaigrette dressing using olive oil, vinegar, and honey. You can also add herbs or spices to taste.
Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. This will help to prevent the greens from wilting.

The combination of sweet strawberries, tangy goat cheese, and crunchy walnuts is sure to please everyone at the table. This salad is also very easy to make, so it's a great option for a busy weeknight meal. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing salad, give the Strawberry Fields Salad a try.
