Strawberry Spinach Salad

This is a classic favorite.  Especially for strawberry time!  I also use the dressing with other salads.

Ingredients
2 TBSP sesame seeds
1 TBSP poppy seeds
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. worcestershire sauce
1 TSBP minced onion
10 ounces fresh spinach - rinsed, dried & torn into bite sized pieces
1 quart strawberries - cleaned, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup almonds - slivered (I buy them pre-slivered)

Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sugar, olive oil, vinegar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and onion.  Cover, and chill for one hour.

In a large bowl, combine the spinach, strawberries and almonds.  Pour dressing over the salad, and toss.  Refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Serves about 4.
Some things I've added - blue cheese, cucumber, red onion.
