Berry Spinach Salad

This salad was, at least in its original form, given to me by my mother in law.  A few tweaks and here it is.  To toast seeds, heat a non stick skillet and pour in the seeds.  Shake until toasted.  Berries can be any of your choice - and any mix of your choice (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc.)


  1 Tbl toasted sesame seeds                                                     1/4 Cup distilled white vinegar
  2 Tbl toasted poppy seeds                                                       1/4 Tsp paprika
  1/2 Cup white sugar                                                                12 Ounce Fresh Spinach
  1/4 Cup olive oil                                                                      1 Qt berries
  1/4 Cup Canola Oil                                                                 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sugar, oils, vinegar and paprika. Cover, and chill for one hour.  In a large bowl, combine the spinach and berries.  Pour dressing over salad, and toss. Refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes before  serving.
