Had a wonderfull Victoria/ birthday time on Saturday. It was a family reunion celebrating the mother/grand mother, great grandmother/sister and friends 80th birthday and the start of the Victoria day weekend. The spread of ages was from 82 to 19 day baby. Twenty three in all. Great feast with traditional burgers, hotdogs multi different salads and a huge birthday cake with Icecream. The baby was adorable nd so happy - There were two young girls one age 8 the other 11and believe it or not they weren't texting, playing computer games or anything. They were so good and so content to mix and mingle with us oldiew - A really fun celebration. My contribution to the feast was a Baby Spinach Strawbrry Pecan salad. The recipe was just posted

I used bought Creamy Poppyseed Dressing and served it along side so it was not sitting in the heat on the salad. Everything was delish, people and food.

Bergy that salad looks wonderful.
We aren't doing much for memorial day, probably weeding the garden and having a cookout of course. Going to ask my mom to come and my daughter and her boyfriend. Probably going to be burgers and hotdogs, but that might change to chicken. Who know's? Haven't planned it all out yet. But potato salad and macaroni salad with burgers sure sounds good. Oh yeah, can't forget the beans, might make cowboy beans. I love those! I have venison sausage that needs to be used up, so might make them venison cowboy beans. Yummmm

Thanks for the comments all

Deepster what I did instead of tossing all the ingredients I layered the spinach, strawberries, pecans and bacon bits - This took 3 layers. Make your own Poppy seed dressing but as a shortcut I bought Kraft and it was perfect.

I'll take that to heart, Bergy. Anything looking that good should not be tampered with :D .

Thanks Deepster. It was neat because there were all these lovely salads and I mean good looking, good tasting too but I received a lot of compliments just on the look of the salad -- and I may add after the taste trying it.. The Poppy salad dressing is a must. - whether you make your own or shortcut like I did.
