Honey Mustard Slaw

Sweet, tangy, and even diet friendly.

•2 Tbsp. yellow mustard
•2 Tbsp. dijon mustard
•3 Tbsp. honey
•3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
•1 Tsp. poppy seeds
•½ Tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Combine the mustards, honey, oil, poppy seeds, and pepper in a container with a tight fitting lid. Shake the ingredients vigorously until thoroughly combined, and chill for at least 24 hours. When ready to serve, toss the cabbage with the dressing.

Strawberry Spinach Salad

A summertime favorite.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

•½ Cup slivered almonds
•Juice of 2 lemons
•1 Tbsp. poppy seeds
•1/3 Cup onion, chopped
•Pinch of sea salt or kosher salt
•1 Tbsp. dijon mustard
•1-2 Tbsp. granulated sugar (optional)
•Vegetable oil
•8 Cups fresh spinach, cleaned and trimmed
•1 Lb. fresh strawberries, cleaned, trimmed, and sliced

Prepare your almonds by toasting them in a dry pan. Keep an eye on them, because they will burn very easily. Set aside to cool. In a blender, combine the lemon juice, poppy seeds, onion, salt, mustard, and optional sugar (I don't use any sugar, but most people will prefer the sweetened taste...you can taste it first, and add the sugar if you think you'll like it). Pulse until there are no more chunks of onion. With the blender on, slowly pour in oil until the dressing is at your desired consistency. Now just toss the spinach, sliced strawberries, almonds, and dressing, and serve.
