The chicken ranch appetizers were very simple to make.  They had a sweet yet salty taste.  They would be a great appetizer to make for a party.

Strawberry Spinach Salad

Made by Megan and Dakota C
Yesterday we made a strawberry spinach salad. Here is the recipe:         
Mix together and refigerate until chilled:                                      Yeild: 2 cups
1cup granulated sugar                                                               Portion: 2 tablespoons
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons poppyseeds
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup balsamic vinegar

Combine fresh spinach(washed, dried, and chopped) with halved strawberries on a salad plate.

Drizzle with 2 Tablespoons of dressing.
                                                                                                                                    
The salad had a sweet taste without the bitterness that you would expect from the spinach.  It had a very fresh flavor.  It would be a good side dish rather than a salad you would eat on its own.
