This strawberry, apple and pear spinach salad is easy, light and delicious. I've created a tasty mild strawberry poppyseed vinaigrette to go with it. This salad is loved by every palate; young and old. If you like a stronger vinaigrette, feel free to add more red wine vinegar. I've also tested this with cider vinegar and it worked well; although I liked the red wine vinegar a teensy bit more.

• 1 apple, cored and sliced
• 1 pear, cored and sliced
• ½ lb strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 2 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
• 8 oz (1/2 lb) Spinach Leaves

• (makes enough vinaigrette for 2 salads)
• ¼ cup cold filtered water
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup apple red wine vinegar, or to taste
• ½ lb fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (about 1½ cups)
• 2 Tbsp honey
• ½ tsp poppy seeds

1. In a food processor or blender, combine ¼ cup water, ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup cider vinegar, ½ lb strawberries and 2 Tbsp honey and puree until smooth.
2. Add ½ tsp poppy seeds and pulse once to combine. Refrigerate dressing up to a week.

1. Place all of your salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add salad dressing to taste and toss to combine. Easy!
