Strawberry and Spinach Salad with Lemon Dressing
From the Willow Inn, in Waynesbury, PA, as printed in Bon Appetit, August 1983, page 8.
10 oz. fresh spinach, rinsed, drained, stemmed and coarsely chopped
1 lb. fresh strawberries, hulled and halved or sliced
Place spinach in a bowl and top with strawberries. Chill.
Lemon Dressing (makes about 3/4 cup):
1/4 cup sugar
juice of 1 large lemon (3 scant Tbl.)
1 egg yolk
6 Tbl. vegetable oil
Place sugar in medium mixing bowl. Add lemon juice and whisk until most of sugar is completely dissolved. Add yolk and whisk until sugar is completely dissolved. Add oil 1 Tbl. at a time, whisking constantly until dressing is thick and creamy. Cover and refrigerate.
To serve, rewhisk dressing if necessary. Pour over salad and toss gently.
