1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon grated onion
1/4 teaspoon celery seed

2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 medium sweet onion, sliced and separated into rings
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

  • In a 2-cup microwave-safe bowl, combine the first nine ingredients.

  • Cover and refrigerate until serving.
  • In a salad bowl, combine the greens, strawberries, oranges, onion, almonds and bacon.
  • Drizzle with dressing; gently toss.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter salad, use ripe, juicy berries. If your berries are tart, you can add a little sugar or honey to the dressing.
  • To make the salad more colorful, use a variety of berries and mandarins. You can also add other fruits, such as grapes, pineapple, or mango.
  • To make the salad more crunchy, add some chopped nuts or seeds. You can also add crumbled bacon or cheese.
  • To make the salad more flavorful, use a flavorful dressing. You can use a simple vinaigrette dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs, or you can use a more complex dressing made with mayonnaise, yogurt, or sour cream.
  • Serve the salad immediately after making it. The berries and mandarins will start to wilt if they sit for too long.
