Strawberry and Mixed Baby Greens Salad

Don't let strawberry season pass you by!  We can't get enough of this salad when the berries are ripe.  I must have seen this recipe in a magazine somewhere and jotted it down , so I can't give credit to anyone, but the dressing gives this old time favorite salad a new twist. The measurements really depend on how many you are making it for.

Salad Ingredients

 -1 bowl full of mixed baby greens (or plain spinach)-for 7 adults I used a 7oz. box of greens from Costco.

 -fresh strawberries -sliced (I used 2 cups of sliced berries)

 

Sour Cream Dressing

 -1/2 cup sour cream

 -2 tsp lime juice

 -1/4 cup liquid honey

Stir ingredients together. This can be made ahead of time and kept for 3-4 days in the fridge. 

Sugar Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

 -2 tbsp white sugar

 -1/2 cup raw shelled pumpkin seeds

Put sugar in a small non stick fry pan over medium heat. Add seeds and stir until sugar has melted and seeds are coated. They burn easily so stay with them. They only take about 2-3 minutes. Turn out onto a piece of wax paper and let cool. After 30 seconds toss them a little so they don't stick to the paper. 

Assemble Salad

Just before you are going to sit down to eat mix the strawberries into the greens, toss with the dressing and then add the seeds. Transfer to a glass serving bowl and enjoy.
