Spinach and Strawberry Salad with Basil Vinaigrette

 I was looking for a basil vinaigrette recipe online and found a few ideas and threw together my own version.  The result: I think I found my new favorite salad!


Salad:

Spinach leaves
1/2 carrot, shredded
Fresh strawberries, cut
Honey roasted almond slices
Hard boiled egg, chopped
Goat cheese

Dressing:

(measurements are an estimate)

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 teaspoons brown sugar (optional)
1/4 cup fresh Basil chopped

Mix dressing, toss the rest - eat and enjoy!!

  2. Just getting acquainted with your blog, and I don't know if you were reading when my son, Caleb, was wearing his helmet, but I highly recommend it! He only had to wear it for 3 months and it worked wonders! Good luck with it. The time with it will go quickly.
