This recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks. A fundraiser cookbook put together by fellow dairy farmers in the state.

It never fails, whenever we have a big fall or winter holiday meal we always decide we need a salad last minute. Our family loves this Strawberry Bacon Spinach Salad but we think of it as a spring and summer salad so it doesn’t fit the bill come harvest. We also don’t want just ANY salad we want a salad fit to be on our thanksgiving table.

This salad is easy to put together. Add your lettuce (you can use any kind you like – I am going to try spinach and spring mix next time I make it) to a salad bowl. Toss the remaining ingredients on top. Whip up the dressing, using a small food processor makes this go a lot quicker but you can use a whisk if you don’t have one. I like to serve the dressing on the side because I am not a big dressing fan but you could toss the salad in the dressing before serving if you like.
