Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

Village Spinach Salad with Strawberries

Original Recipe from:  Kay Johnson-Tomblin

This is a perfect summer salad.  Light, fresh and delicious….the best combination when the weather heats up.  I made this salad for a barbeque recently and The Village Taste Testers declared it the best ever!  Make one for your family this week and watch it disappear!  Enjoy!



Ingredients

10 ounces Baby Spinach, stems removed
2 cups sliced fresh Strawberries
1/2 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled
1.2 cup Toasted Pine Nuts
Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing


Directions

Coat frying pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Pour pine nuts in the pan and toast over medium heat until golden brown.  Stir frequently while toasting.  Set aside.




Remove stem from Baby Spinach.  Tear into bite size pieces, rinse in colander and drain well.

Place Spinach in a large salad bowl.  Add Strawberries, Feta Cheese and Pine Nuts.  Toss with Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing right before serving.
