Strawberry Lemonade

 I adapted this recipe from Tammy Price's recipe found here (where she cans the lemonade concentrate into quart jars for later).  I only "can" what is absolutely necessary because of all the work.  So instead I froze my strawberries for later use.  I just love this refreshing drink! 

2 cups strawberries  - I like to use frozen but you can use fresh, also
1 cup lemon juice (just from the concentrate you buy from the store) - mine wasn't fresh
1 cup sugar
5 cups water

Blend berries with lemon juice and 1 cup of the water.  Then dump this mixture into a pitcher and add the sugar and remaining four cups of water.  If you use frozen berries, then your drink is already chilled and ready to drink!

Strawberry Spinach Salad

I made this for our Relief Society meeting last tonight (I got the recipe from another lady in our ward- thanks Heidi). It was very good, many ladies asked for the recipe!

10 cups spinach (one of the regular size bags of spinach)
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1 cup pecans, roasted
1/4 cup red onion, sliced thin

Dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
2-3 T. wine vinegar
2-3 T. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground mustard
1 T. lemon juice
1 T. poppy seed

Pour dressing over spinach, strawberries, pecans and onion right before serving.

Tiff's tips: I make the dressing and then chill it in the fridge before serving.
