Ingredients

1 teaspoon table salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup Strawberry Vinegar
3/4 cup canola oil
1 pound fresh spinach, washed, deveined, and torn into pieces (or baby spinach, whole)

1-1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds

1-1/2 cups hulled and roughly chopped strawberries
1-1/2 cups white wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
Instructions

Place strawberries and vinegar in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Let stand in a sunny window 3 to 4 days (the vinegar will become bright red). Strain into a small saucepan and discard berries. Stir in sugar and heat over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Simmer over low heat about 10 minutes. Cool and pour into a clean bottle. Cover and store in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator. Yield: about 2 cups.
