These strawberries are fresh from the Versluis farm and I can't stop eating them...
I wonder how long it will take for Scott and I to finish these off? I'm guessing 2 days, maybe 3.Only one more day of work until the weekend...woo hoo. I don't have any huge plans for the holiday weekend, except to ride my bike and catch up on sleep. But before I catch up on sleep I have to wake up really early on Saturday and go race.My legs are pretty darn tired from training this week and it's tempting to stay home and sleep in. Every once in a while I catch myself trying to talk myself out of racing, but NO!!! I'm going to suck it up and go. This race is strictly for training and my main goal is to gather whatever I have left and really push myself for 50 miles.
Speaking of racing...I put up my interview with Katie Spotz, endurance extraordinaire.
Look below...it's one post down:-)

I also love strawberries. Eat them all summer. Here is a great recipe for a Strawberry Spinach Salad
Makes 4 -6 servings
1 lb. baby spinach leaves, washed and spun dry if needed
1/2 cup sliced green onions (or less, I love green onion)
1/3 cup slivered almonds, slightly toasted in a dry pan 1 cup sliced strawberries (or more)
2-3 T chopped fresh dill (or more)
Dressing:
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. finely minced fresh garlic
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. dry mustard powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, sugar or Splenda, garlic, salt, black pepper, dry mustard, and onion powder. When those ingredients are well combined, whisk in olive oil and let dressing flavors blend while you prep other ingredients.
Wash dill and spin dry or dry with paper towels. Trim off feathery ends, discarding thick stems. finely chop dill and set aside. Wash strawberries, cut into slices and set aside.
Wash spinach if needed and spin dry or dry with paper towels. Place spinach in large mixing bowl. Thinly slice green onions and add to spinach in bowl. Add slivered (or chopped) almonds and chopped dill and mix together.
Whisk dressing a few time to be sure it's well-mixed, then add desired amount of dressing to salad and toss. (You will not need all the dressing.)
Arrange salad on individual serving plates. Toss sliced strawberries with 1-2 T of dressing, then arrange strawberries over salad on each plate and serve.
Enjoy!!
